Hirotaka Tashiro’s remarkably assured first feature focuses on a long ignored problem: the plight of the foreign worker in Japan. In the sparsely populated rural areas of Japan, the female population is far smaller than the male. An attempt is made to counter this imbalance by arranging marriages with Filipino women. Fey, a young Filipina, came as a mail-order bride. Although she tries hard, she cannot get on with her husband, either verbally or emotionally.
