(Fueko) why are you working in a place like this?
why!?
what for...
I worked so hard till now!?
why do you think I let the kids tolerate things!?
it wasn't to make you do a thing like this!
(Sakurako) onechan (older sister) stop it!
don't blame, Togo san...
please understand, onechan (older sister)
Togo san was having difficult time too
you two were deceiving me...
(Togo)Fueko Sakura chan kept it secret for you and Touru...
stop defending each other!
I feel miserable...
I was deceived...
I believed it...
even my younger sister... had pity on me!
what's going on!? to fight in the factory!?
if you keep on doing this you'll be fired
he won't be coming from tomorrow the pay is at the end of the month
unless you work till the end of month I can't pay you
I'll work, sir I'll work till the end of the day today too
go home now I'll go home after work
♬～(piano)
nice tune
I wrote it for Touru chan
where do you hear that sort of tune from?
does it fall like snow from the sky?
or comes out of the ground?
I wonder where it's from
probably it's the same as
when you want to paint, Togo san? I see
I feel like painting
ah... keep on playing
I want to paint while listening to your piano, Sakura chan
♬～
I was to tell you before what is it?
your paintings have changed a little, Togo san
you see that? yep, a little
became gentle and somewhat soft
♬～
it's strange
after working so hard outside and feel exhausted, when I hold a brush
I get the idea naturally without struggling
when I was thinking about painting 24 hours a day
it didn't happen...
♬～
you want a job?
a young person like you
they usually go to Women's Volunteer Corps
you are single, right? no, I have children
children? how old are they?
a 2-year old and a 4-month old
then it's impossible
(door shut)
♬～
Kazu chan. it's tasty! have even a little
(Touru cry)
come here
♬～
onechan (older sister)? what are you doing?
you can see! I am cropping the fields
onechan (older sister) what's the matter?
calm down!
well... give Touru chan some milk!
♬～
okay
♬～
(sob)
I can't do anything...
for Togo...
(Touru cry)
or for this child...
♬～
onechan (older sister) what are you doing?
I'm moving out
let's go, Kazuko wait! onechan (older sister)!
(Togo) it's noisy (Tsugaru dialect)
what are you talking about at this early in the morning?
Togo san onechan (older sister) is moving out
what is it?
I'm going back to Okazaki
for you to paint as much as you like
I'll watch over you from distance
onechan (older sister)... let's go
Togo san! Kazuko! Kazuko!
Togo san!
ah!
you idiot! (Tsugaru dialect)
you married me because you like me
or my paintings!? which one!?
listen painting is like a disease
if you pay attention to my disease so much
that annoys me a lot!
Fueko I'm not a god of painting
just an ordinary man
we've been living together for so long
you still don't know
I can't do anything without you!?
Kazuko, it's all right now
it was scary, wasn't it? your mother is a blockhead
we almost ended up separating
♬～
what to do?
♬～
I want Kazuko and Touru to live in comfort!
I want Togo to paint something good
♬～
I don't know any more...
♬～
(cry)
onechan (older sister)
don't worry you'll be all right
♬～
this is fine as it is
♬～
(Momoko) it's not much, but feed
Kazu chan and Touru chan with them
thanks as always your life isn't easy, either
no, I'm on my own, so I'll be fine
I'm really sorry don't say that
we are sisters it's natural to help each other, isn't it?
(Fueko) I am the oldest daughter,
so I always thought I had to help you
but the reality is I've been helped
by you two all the time
♬～
well, Sakura chan don't you think Fue nechan (older sister) is a happy person?
she married someone she loves
has two children and living together
at our hospital
we receive so many injured soldiers at the battle fields
the moment they meet again wives, parents
they all have beautiful facial expression
when I see that... I sometimes feel I envy them from the bottom of my heart
it's been a year since I received a letter from Tatsuhiko
I see
that's probably why Fue nechan (older sister)'s
family is so important to me
♬～
(air‐raid alarm)
(Kazuko)♬ "home, sweet, sweet home"
(Sakurako Fueko) ♬ "home, sweet, sweet home"
♬ "be it ever so humble, there's no place like home"
(Masa) a dark night under the blackout order
the warmth family was the origin of a small happiness
keep this little fire burning protect it with all her might
that was what Sakurako was thinking
