A bar hostess about to turn 30 faces an uncertain future, and considers how best to deal with her financial difficulties. To maintain her independence, she will either have to raise enough money to open a bar of her own or persuade one of the patrons to marry her. Drama, starring Hideko Takamine and Masayuki Mori. In Japanese.

Keiko, whom everyone calls Mama, narrates her story: she's a hostess on the Ginza, 30, a widow. She describes life's vicious cycle: acting cheerful around drunks, dressing and living well to convey confidence, needing money for these expenses and for her demanding mother and brother, and knowing she's growing older.
