As a widow, Chisato lives in the countryside. Even with flattery, her life cannot be called affluent; she is forced to live in poverty and raise her only son through university alone, even falling behind on rent payments... Driven by hardship, she knows it's dirty work, but she sells memories of her body to childhood friends or a landlord who has doted on her like a daughter since she was young, becoming a prostitute and branded as a slut in the village... Her only happiness is when she thinks of her beloved son and lets her pencil dance across the paper in letters...
