Story
Popular scriptwriter Takato Natsu lives in a house in the suburbs of Saitama City with her husband Shogo. A former TV station director, Shogo has settled down as a househusband. He takes care of the housework, cultivates a home garden and supports her work. Natsu should not be dissatisfied with her current life, but somehow feels a desire that she is unable to suppress. She is also exasperated by her mother Kiyoko who has pushed her into the role of the virtuous wife and frequently complains to her close friend Okajima Kyoko about her family. In an exchange of emails with her mentor, the charismatic theatre director Shizawa Ichirota, Natsu lays bare her true feelings and he invites her to a clandestine meeting. Despite her hesitation, she soon has trysts with him. Natsu later feels offended when Shogo gets a word in about a script as a matter of fact and a quarrel ensues over something. She realises that Shogo has been trying to keep her under control. Driven by instinct, she leaves home and starts living alone in Tokyo. After that, Shizawa begins to avoid her. Just when Natsu is feeling lonely, she meets Iwai Ryosuke, her ex-boyfriend during university days who is now married, again at the venue of a talk show that she is on. Despite their good time together, she continues to have desires which have not been satisfied. Then, she gets wooed by an up-and-coming actor Obayashi Kazuya whom she meets in an unexpected way. Will Natsu be happy or lonely?
