Kyokuyo Tamai

It was supposed to be about a love story, but it was and was not. An aircraft mechanic working for the government is matched by his boss with the latter man's daughter (Setsuko Hara) who is both beautiful and aggressive. Yet, he picks a woman who is less assertive as his bride.

Ine Onoda, la fille aînée d'une pauvre famille de fermiers, élève un poulain dès sa naissance et en vient à aimer tendrement le cheval. Lorsque le cheval devient adulte, le gouvernement ordonne qu'il soit mis aux enchères et vendu à l'armée. Ine se bat pour empêcher cette vente.
