Synopsis

Kubota Nagisa (Asano Atsuko), the section chief of Import Division 3 in the Food Department at major trading company Godai Bussan, is forced to take responsibility for a work failure and is temporarily transferred for a one-month period to a mackerel canning factory affiliated company located in Kujukuri. The canning factory is bleeding red ink, but the factory employees seem unconcerned and work at a leisurely pace. Kubota’s superior, Nagamine (Ono Takehiko), has an ulterior motive to force Kubota to resign, using the factory’s poor management performance as the reason. Still, Kubota believes that if she endures for one month, she will be able to return to headquarters.
