In the historic port city of Kobe, a woman's story unfolds quietly. Shizuku Kaijima (played by Yuko Takeuchi), the only female employee in the foreign trade division of Fukumarun Department Store in Kobe's Motomachi, starts from the bottom. Through her relentless determination, she transitions from a contract worker to a full-time employee and is regarded by the legendary foreign trade representative Mr. Yanagiba (played by Masao Kusakari) as the most likely successor. However, an unprecedented crisis suddenly strikes, as the company demands she achieve a monthly sales target of 15 million yen, or face dismissal. Shizuku runs at full speed, only to find her efforts yield little result, leaving her feeling disheartened. Through Mr. Yanagiba's introduction, she moves into a luxury house vacated by a client to experience life, during which she also cohabits with her colleague Shuhei Masuya (played by Ko Saito), who comes from a wealthy family, gradually understanding the hardships and truths of the foreign trade industry… This film is adapted from the novel of the same name by En Takadono.
