Synopsis
A tale of women who cast away their role of “wife” at 3:00 pm…
Picture a housewife who sees her husband off to work, does all the chores, and then spends the rest of the afternoon with another man. A Fuji TV news program labeled this phenomenon a “weekday belle de jour wife”. This drama is based on these women and their new wrinkle to illicit love affairs. Average housewife Sawa (Aya UETO) finds herself backing up Rikako’s (Michiko KICHISE) alibi to cover up an affair. Eventually, Sawa meets high school teacher Yuichiro (Takumi SAITO) and crosses a line with him that no spouse is meant to cross. This compelling drama frankly explores the desires of modern housewives.
