Details
Though the poet Geppu's wife Chieko is a talented actress who has achieved some degree of fame, Geppu is frequently ashamed by the fact that she's the main breadwinner of the household. Life begins to imitate art when the pair become embroiled in an argument over an issue eerily similar to a scene they had earlier rehearsed for an upcoming play. Will this real encounter end just as violently as its fictional counterpart, if not worse?
