Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A Hen in the Wind is a 1948 film by Yasujiro Ozu.Tokiko is a 28-year-old woman living in Tokyo with a four-year-old son, Hiroshi. Her husband Shuichi is still a POW three years after the end of the war (this was not unheard of). Tokiko is desperately struggling to provide for herself and her son; as the film starts, she's trying to sell off her last kimono.Disaster strikes when Hiroshi becomes seriously ill and requires hospitalization. Driven to desperation, Tokiko prostitutes herself for an evening. Naturally, her husband finally makes it home within days of this event, and naturally, he finds out.

Hit Me, Dammit!: Rather than tell him to go to hell like she should, Tokiko begs Shuichi to hit her, beat her, do whatever he has to do to be able to forgive her.

The Loins Sleep Tonight: Mr. Fu, Tokiko's would-be customer at the whorehouse, is surprisingly candid about this. ("It doesn't work...my thing.")
