The girl’s relatives, particularly Aunt Sadako and Uncle Shuhei, the local mayor’s deputy, plan to introduce her to a suitable young man, but Inako has no real desire to get married. She is more interested in the hot mineral springs from where she takes her laboratory specimens. This all changes when she meets Mr Tamamiza, a young divorced man who’s been left with a little boy.
