It takes good time to build up an emotion and when it delivers, it doesn't feel like it is some sort of high moment in the story. It goes more like a narrative of a day to day life of a clerk Sosuke and his wife Oyone. A life as ordinary on surface but scarred with its own demons.
Sosuke and Oyone looks like an ordinary couple (this was so made for each other) with their own past. A couple who carry the burden of their love and what it led to. And the story doesn't go into a lot of details, but just drop few hints here and there.
Is it possible that a single decision in life set the whole course for you, and you accept it with no resistance? Is it possible that you can stay passive (stoic) in the face of all the complexities that life brings? A different couple in a different time/place could have chosen otherwise but then it wouldn't have been the same story.
It is difficult to move on, and it could take a lifetime but is the resignation to the fate a solution?
Love
