NOTES

Title from title frames

Tsuneo is a university student working part-time in a mah jong parlor. Lately customers in the parlor have been talking about an old lady who pushes a baby carriage through the streets. One day, the baby carriage comes rolling down a hill and crashes into a guardrail. The old lady asks Tsuneo to look into the carriage, where he finds a young woman clutching a knife. This is how Tsuneo first meets the girl who calls herself 'Josée.' Her real name is Kumiko, and she is unable to walk, so her grandmother takes her out early every morning in the old baby carriage. Tsuneo begins to fall under the spell of the young woman's unusual charm, and he grows more and more attracted to her in this offbeat love story of artless purity in collision with the real world
