C-2844 Affair, then...011 Continued Married Woman Affair Travel #045

The case of the married woman, Hokuka (58 years old). Married for eight years. Mechanically repeating the same days every day, before she knew it, she was forty. Although she has no complaints about her current life, she repeatedly asks herself if there could have been a different life. Pushed by the fear of her womanhood ending, Hokuka lies to her husband and sets off on a journey... (Married Woman's Affair Travel #045). 'This is my last time with a man in my life... so I want to forget everything and be liberated.' After 18 years, they reunite. Hokuka speaks like a dam bursting about the events that happened over the long months: her revived sex life, sudden illness leading to separation, days spent aimlessly. Amidst this, she sees on TV the park she visited during that trip, and memories resurface. The 58-year-old married woman wants to experience that excitement again, so she contacts Director Takahashi.
