Yasuo, who wanted to pursue a career in painting, carves prints at home after his work. However, now I envy Keiko's words when she got married, "If we understand each other, things will go well. I'll let you draw whatever you like." Her first day as a newlywed was a night shift, and when she gave birth to her eldest daughter, she collapsed from overwork. Ten years later, taking care of the children and doing all the household chores is Yasuo's share. One day, her second daughter develops a fever and mumbles, "Mom," but Keiko works the night shift that night. What a nurse she can't even nurse her own child. Yasuo shook his head. A few days later, Keiko returned home as if she had collapsed. She had her patient die in spite of her devoted care. The patient's life is wearing down the nurse's life. Keiko's trouble is that many of her junior colleagues quit her job as a nurse when she got married. Her friend Naomi is also leaving her job at the request of her fiancée. This work would not have been possible without family cooperation and sacrifice. Finally, Keiko collapsed due to overwork. However, she refuses to persuade Yasuo to quit her job. Yasuo made up his mind to write his thoughts to the newspaper. "Why don't we have enough working conditions and rest, old nurses, aren't you sick? If this continues, our family will be completely destroyed. What will the government, the Ministry of Health, do to us? Are you trying to...?" The next day, the hospital was talking about the letter. And at Yasuo's house, the phone of encouragement keeps ringing. Then, Keiko, her fellow nurses, and her husband were to meet. The faces of the people gathered, including Yasuo, shine with hope that this circle will spread throughout the country. Written by Seijirô Kôyama See less
