About a Woman

Dayu, 64, is an aging widower who has been living on her own for the past fifteen years. After the departure of a housemaid who has been working for her for many years, Dayu hires a 17-year-old boy as a house cleaner. This film is about two strangers who are forced in to live under one roof in unusual circumstances. Tension begins from fear, uncertainty, and awkwardness, but gradually evolves into sexual tension between Dayu and the boy. (Tokyo International Film Festival)
