吹向越南的风

在越南河内担任日语教师的佐生美纱绪（松坂庆子 饰），因接到父亲去世的噩耗而匆匆赶回故乡新泻。她见到了久未谋面的后母静枝（草村礼子 饰），早些年患上认知症的静枝看起来无忧无虑，对老伴的去世也没有任何概念。虽然没有血缘关系，可是美纱绪不忍看到静枝这般孤苦伶仃地生活，她不顾兄长们的反对，葬礼结束后毅然将静枝带回了河内。老人家年事已高，再加上受认知症的困扰，不免要做出一些出格的事儿来。好在越南人和善宽容地接受了这对来自异国的母女，即使操着不同的语言，也让她们心意相通。在此期间，美纱绪和儿时的朋友小泉民生（奥田瑛二 饰）重逢，“今夕复何夕，共此灯烛光。” 　　生活中总有这样那样的不如意，尽管如此，来自故旧和新知的支持和帮助，无论怎样的坎坷挫折总能翻越过去的吧！After Misao divorced, she moved to Vietnam.
