Sayuri Ito, 40, is an actress active in a small theater troupe in Tokyo. Currently, she is living away from home due to conflicts with her mother-in-law. Fourteen years ago, she married her husband, who was once her theater colleague. After marriage, he gave up his dream of becoming an actor and took a regular job, while Sayuri stepped back from the stage to focus on raising their child.
