Ripples

Yoriko, 50, a quiet housewife with a lazy son and a selfish husband, finds herself at a loss when he suddenly abandons the family home. She faces it courageously, then turns with fervour and despair to a cult linked to pure, uncontaminated water. When her husband suddenly reappears, very ill, her anxiety increases but Yoriko complies with the conventions and accepts him. She will wait for the right moment to free herself completely.

In this feminist urban tale of self-determination, a sense of derision and finesse gracefully address the seriousness of the subject matter.
