The actors, including Kazuo Funaki, Yuzo Kayama, and Toshio Kurosawa, are also very attractive. Kimiko (Wakako Sakai) is at an appropriate age, beautiful and fresh, longing for a manly and charming father, and tempted by the adult world... Kimiko's (Wakako Sakai) father Shunsaku (Yoshio Tsuchiya) is not at home. Her mother, Etsuko (Mitsuko Kusabue), does not want to bring Shunsaku back, who is apparently living with a geisha in a hot spring. In order to break off her interest in her father, Kimiko visits Shunsaku in snow country, where he lives with his wife Yukiko (Etsuko Ichihara), a hairdresser, and their two children in an ordinary and cheerful home. This is the first film in which 20-year-old Wakako Sakai plays the lead role. Based on Mikio Naruse's "My Wife, My Rose" (35), the film depicts a daughter who is torn between the emotions of parent and child and man and woman. It was described in the promotional materials at the time as "the first hurdle that the smiling, pretty Sakai had to pass to become a great actress.
