The Wild Geese
Synopsis
Set in 1880s Tokyo, this story follows Otama, a young woman who becomes the mistress of a wealthy usurer to support her father. Isolated and longing for a different life, she finds herself drawn to a medical student who passes her home each day. Their paths cross in a quiet, unfulfilled connection that captures the fleeting nature of desire and the constraints of the era.
