Two in the Shadow
Directed by Mikio Naruse
Produced by TOHO
A melancholic drama about guilt, obligation, and forbidden attraction in the aftermath of tragedy, where a man's act of conscience sets in motion a complicated emotional entanglement.
A man is involved in a fatal car accident, and though he is blameless, his company transfers him to a remote branch in a small town. Before he leaves, he gives the man's widow a large sum of money that she uses to move back to her hometown.
