## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

First Japanese female director to chronicle a poetic divorce, Tanaka turns a mid-century melodrama into a quiet office for postpartum lyrical reclamation. Fumiko’s pen and pain grow together, ending in the kind of peace that comes from outlasting a husband and a surgeon. A sweet epilogue for anyone who believes 1955 needed fewer chrysanthemums.

**Mood tags**: foreign-gem, bittersweet, tender
