Sayuri Ito, 40, works as a member of a small theater company in Tokyo. In fact, she has run away from home due to problems with her mother-in-law. 14 years ago, Sayuri got married to her husband, who was a fellow actor, after a love affair. Her husband gave up his dream of becoming an actor and got a job. Sayuri also stayed away from the stage to give birth and raise her child, but when her child grew up, she returned to the world of theater, which she loves. However, she clashed with her mother-in-law, who is of the old-fashioned opinion that "wives should stay at home and support their husbands," and things have been awkward between them for the past few years. The stress that had been building up due to her nagging finally exploded, and she decided to run away from home.
