FUJIKO

Shizuoka in 1977. In the middle of a raging storm and a hospital blackout, Fujiko brings her daughter Mari into the world. Yet joy quickly turns to heartbreak when her husband’s family tears them apart, kidnapping the newborn in a display of cruelty. With her mother’s support, Fujiko fights back to reclaim her child and emerges victorious. Defying judgement, tradition, and societal pressures, Fujiko chooses the grittiest path of them all, to raise Mari as a single mother and chase the freedom and vitality she longs for. What follows is a wild, deeply human ride of laughter, struggle, and resilience.
