Late Chrysanthemum

In postwar Japan, four retired geishas maintained their relationship with each other in another way, and also experienced the loneliness of life. Ouji (played by Haruko Sugimura) was entangled with many men when she was young. To this day, her former lover still disturbs her life. The lonely Ouji loaned money to her former sisters at high interest rates, covering up her loss with a mean attitude. Yinmei and Yuhui share a room and have a son and a daughter respectively. Now Yinmei is addicted to gambling and Yuhui is sick, and has to endure Xuji's ridicule. As their older children get married and travel far away, Yinmei and Yuhui feel lonely for a while, and they can only drink to drown their sorrows... Ouji's long-unforgettable lover Tanabe (played by Ken Uehara) comes to visit, but this middle-aged man has long lost the high-spiritedness he once had. Will the last hope that Ouji has raised will be shattered? This film is adapted from three novels by writer Hayashi Fumiko and ranked seventh among the top ten of the year in the "Film Weekly".
