When a Woman Ascends the Stairs
女が階段を上る時
The tree sprouts no matter how strong the wind blows.
Overview
Keiko, whom everyone calls Mama, narrates her story: she's a hostess on the Ginza, 30, a widow. She describes life's vicious cycle: acting cheerful around drunks, dressing and living well to convey confidence, needing money for these expenses and for her demanding mother and brother, and knowing she's growing older.
