The Munekata Sisters

A melancholic domestic drama centered on three people caught between duty, desire, and the impossibility of reclaiming lost love.

Setsuko is in an unhappy marriage to Mimura, an unemployed, alcoholic engineer. She had always been in love with Hiroshi but both failed to propose when Hiroshi left for France a few years ago. But now he's back and Mariko tries to reunite them, although she too is secretly in love with Hiroshi.
