The director is Kodama Nobuhisa, who directed "Echitetsu Monogatari: I've come back to my hometown. - Based on the novel "Oshorin" by Yoko Fujioka. Mume married Gozaemon Masunaga, the eldest son of the village headman in Fukui Prefecture (currently Asotsu, Fukui City), and was busy with childcare and housework. One day, Gozaemon's younger brother, Kohachi, returns home from Osaka, where he has been working, and asks if the whole village can get involved in eyeglass production. He says that glasses are almost unknown today, but with the spread of print culture, they will surely become a necessity. If the project succeeds, it will help farmers, who have no harvest in the winter, to make a living. At first, Gozaemon is opposed to the idea, but when he sees a child with weak eyesight wearing the glasses and is overjoyed, he decides to take on the challenge and gathers the people of the village to open a factory. However, the wholesaler turned away the glasses that they had painstakingly finished, saying that they were no longer for sale, and the brothers were forced to take out a bank loan due to financial difficulties, but they were forced to repay the loan severely. The brothers were repeatedly frustrated. Mume, who has a strong heart and never gives up on their dream, believed in them and supported them. Encouraged by her, the brothers and the craftsmen take a "final gamble"...
