Synopsis 127 minutes :
Rika (Rie Miyazawa), an ordinary housewife,
works as a contract employee for a bank. She
appears to want for nothing, but feels
emptiness inside due to her husband's
indifference to her. One day, she meets
university student Kota and falls into an
adulterous relationship with him...
The more she spends with him, the more she
is tempted to dip into her clients' money. Rika
begins by borrowing a mere 10,000 yen, but
gradually graduates to full-blown embezzlement
as her predicament spirals out of her
control... Based on a bestseller novel by Naoki
Prize-winning author Mitsuyo Kakuta, PALE MOON
has received over 30 film awards with a box
office gross of 900,000,000 yen in Japan. |
