Mr. Asai, a gross old lecher stuck in an unhappy marriage, lusts after her. She prefers the attentions of Nishimura, a much more age-appropriate low-level employee at Asai, but there's a problem. Her father, a particularly useless old man, skimmed some money from his company's coffers and blew it all on risky investments. Now he owes his former employers three hundred yen and is facing prison if he doesn't pay it back.So Ayako agrees to be Mr. Asai's mistress. Her time with Mr. Asai ends in humiliation, but she does at least get the money to pay her father's debt, even though he shows no gratitude. However, now her brother Hiroshi needs college tuition...and Ayako has to debase herself again.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| Osaka Elegy / int_df410b77 | comment |
Decoy Protagonist: The entire opening scene presents Mr. and Mrs. Asai and establishes their bitter, loveless marriage, then follows Mrs. Asai as she goes to her husband's work. It seems that one of the two of them will be the protagonist, and it's not until the film gets to the office that the true protagonist, Ayako, is established. | |

Dead Sparks: If the Asais ever loved each other they certainly don't any more. Not even the presence of the doctor in the room will stop them from hurling insults at each other. When Mr. Asai says that he should get a mistress his wife says he doesn't have the guts. | |
