Original Story
Котаро Такамура (1883 — 1956) опубликовал сборник стихов "Тиэко-сё" (Тиэко-избранное) в 1941 году и посвятил его своей жене Тиэко, которая умерла 3 годами ранее. Это история творческой семьи: Котаро был скульптором, Тиэко занималась живописью. Однако в возрасте 45 лет Тиэко был поставлен диагноз шизофрении, и она была помещена в психиатрическую больницу Дзэмусака. А через 7 лет она умерла от туберкулёза. Сборник стихов стал настоящим бестселлером, по нему были написаны романы, сняты фильмы и поставлены театральные постановки. Настоящая экранизация основана на романе Харуо Сато.
