Kiyoko's Situation

Mako Idemitsu JP, 1989, 25', 16 mm

Everyday problems will trap a woman if she has too much energy and ability to be wasted on household chores. Kiyoko, the middle-aged housewife has repressed the desire to express her identity so long, and now it is coming out with a vengeance. The frustration over her suppressed desires drives her desperation. The greater her latent ability, the deeper her desperation. Although this is Kiyoko’s tragic situation, I am sure there are many women who have the same problems as she has. They just don’t want to make a commitment as she does.
