Flowers

"FLOWERS" covers the lives of six woman whose lives span a period of three generations (from the Shōwa period all the way through to the present day). Starting in the 1930's, Rin (Aoi Yu) is worried about her arranged marriage that her parents setup. Eventually Rin has three daughters: Kaoru (Takeuchi Yuko) - who tragically loses her husband in a car accident, Midori (Tanaka Rena) - a career woman who becomes shaken by a marriage proposal, and youngest child Sato (Nakama Yukie). In the 1960's Sato gives birth to Kanna (Suzuki Kyoka) and Kei (Hirosue Ryoko). In the present day, Kanna is now worried about becoming a single mother. The lives of these woman are portrayed with beauty and grace.
