Synopsis

Set in a picturesque mountain town with unchanging scenery—the familiar mountains, rivers, and lush greenery—Mitsu no Tsuki tells the story of Kosaka Mayu, a woman suffocating in the quiet despair of her mundane life. As a wife, mother, and daughter-in-law, she spends her days caring for her husband, raising her son, and tending to her bedridden mother-in-law, feeling trapped in the supporting role of “mother.”

 

Everything changes when she meets Sota Suzuka, a man from Tokyo who drifts into her small town. Against all reason, they fall into a forbidden love—one that makes her feel alive again, as if blood is finally flowing through her veins. But love, especially an affair, takes on a different meaning with time. Years later, she will look back and realize how this single moment, the choice to surrender or resist, could have altered her entire life.

 

A poignant tale of passion, regret, and the weight of decisions, Mitsu no Tsuki delves into the quiet turmoil of a woman torn between duty and desire. (C)CBC Television.
