丈夫某天突然不辭而別,家族經營的「幸福澡堂」被逼停業,幸福不再。中年人妻為養女糊口惟有外出打工,沒想到天意弄人被驗出身患絕症,遂趕緊在離場前夕把隱夫揪出,再鼓勵家人重開澡堂。過程一派日式含蓄勵志,還看得笑中有淚。跟首部一鳴驚人長片《爸爸的照片》類同,希望透過失蹤爸爸、身患絕症的父或母、臨終者努力活出死亡等角色情節,來啟發大家思考如何面對生死及家人親情等必然課題。死亡於此又何嘗不是另一種重生?《紙月人妻》宮澤理惠今次化身成為開朗堅強的母親,母愛洋溢,演繹尤其入木三分。
Miyazawa Rie follows Pale Moon with another luminous performance as a mother trying to righten the household before she dies in Capturing Dad director Nakano Ryota’s moving sophomore feature. Futaba has been raising her daughter Azumi on her own ever since her husband just up and left a year ago. When she learns she has only two months left to live, Futaba makes a bucket list of tasks she must complete for the sake of her gentle daughter’s future: bring back her husband, reopen the family’s bathhouse business, teach Azumi to be more independent, clear out all the secrets.
