"Tamako who doesn't seek improvement"?
Tamako Sakai (played by Maeda Atsuko
) was born in an ordinary town in Kofu. After completing her studies at university in Tokyo, she returned to her hometown and became a squatter who lived idle and bored all day long. . Tamako's father, Zenci (played by Yasuna
), runs a sports goods store. He divorced his wife in his early years, and his eldest daughter got married and started her own life. In daily life, Zenci and this 23-year-old still depend on each other. The youngest daughter at home depends on each other for life. Although she complains about Yuzi's poor and industrious life style, she seems willing to work hard for her daughter. Zenci runs the business, does laundry, and cooks non-stop, while Tamako on the other side reads comics, sleeps in, eats leftovers, and is in a daze, living in her own little world. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, as the four seasons pass, the father and daughter are used to living together in such a boring way. While looking forward to a change in life, they also quietly watch the natural demise of everything around them...
