Synopsis: The last in a three-part adaptation of Matsumoto Seichou's works (the other two being Kurokawa no Techou and Keimonomichi), sees Yonekura Ryoko resume her role as a "bad woman".

In a slight deviation from the original storyline, the drama starts off with a nurse in love with a doctor (Kamikawa Takaya), and proceeds its depiction as her life spirals out of control.

Spoiler — click to reveal
Yasaburo and Hisako marry and have a daughter, but Yasaburo is shipped off to China, where he is stationed when the war ends. The Russians imprison him as a spy. Later, he marries Claudia, a Russian woman and fellow former prisoner, and settles in Russia. However, he never forgets his family back in Japan, and almost 50 years after last seeing Hisako, he returns for a visit.
