Synopsis:
Ryoko Kurasawa lives in his parents' cottage, hiding from people. The reason for it is her husband who has embezzled money from the bank in which he worked and has since disappeared without a trace. One day, Ryoko meets her husband, now tired of life on the run. She tries talking him into surrendering to the police, but then agrees to hide him for seven days. She has one condition – he has to sign their divorce so she can marry her new lover Yoshizumi.
