Housewife Ikue (34) embarks on a two-day, one-night trip with a man she's meeting for the first time. In this 164th installment of the hit series, Ikue, a mother of two with 15 years of marriage behind her, sets off on a journey to heal her emotional and physical exhaustion. Her husband is a salaryman who took over his father's family-run diner after his father developed chronic back pain. Since then, Ikue has been living with her in-laws, caught in a relentless cycle of pregnancy, childbirth, child-rearing, housework, and unpaid labor at the restaurant—all within the confines of their cramped home. Amid ongoing struggles with her relationship with her live-in stepmother, she has long yearned for inner peace. Now, through this first encounter and getaway, she begins a journey toward discovering a new sense of self.
