The Showa era... The Ikurakawa household had two maids, Okuru and Osugi. The head of the household was Seigo Ikurakawa, a renowned writer and quite the lecher. In place of his ailing wife, Seigo had relations with the maid Okuru. However, fearing infection from her illness, he did not lay a hand on Osugi, who tended to his wife. One night, Osugi was finally summoned by Seigo. This is the lament of impoverished maids forced into men's arms, meticulously presented by Toshihiko Hirabayashi.
