Yearning

Reiko is a widow of a would-be heir of a small beverage shop in a local city. The shop was destroyed by the air-raids during the war, but she was the one who rebuilt the shop after the war and made it even larger than prewar through 18 years of hard work. She is a woman in her late 30's, still beautiful but never thought of having another life time partner. But when her 11 years younger brother-in-law, Koji, confessed love to her, her firm mind is swung.
