Little Home

Young Takeshi Arai (Satoshi Tsumabuki) (played by Chieko Beisho) has been taking care of the daily life of her aunt Taki (played by Chieko Beisho). Taki used to be a helper in Tokyo when she was young. Now, with Kenshi's entanglement, she wrote down the joys and sorrows of the past. That goes back to the early Showa era, when young Taki (played by Hana Kuroki) left her hometown in Yamagata and worked as a maid in the Hirai family after several twists and turns. The Hirai family built a small house with a red roof in the suburbs of Tokyo. The male owner (played by Kotaro Kataoka) is the executive of a toy company, and the female owner Tokiko (played by Matsu Takako) is graceful and beautiful. Taki is full of respect for Tokiko, and she serves the Hirai family wholeheartedly. During the Spring Festival of one year, Masaharu Itakura (played by Hidetaka Yoshioka), a new designer from the toy company, walked into Hirai's house. Similar interests and hobbies made him and Tokiko even more speculative. At the same time, the war is becoming increasingly fierce, and lovers hide each other's secrets and drift with the tide... This film is adapted from the 143rd Naoki Award-winning work of the same name by Kyoko Nakajima.
