First Shoot: Fifty‑Something Wife Documentary 我妻淳子

About this work

“The bubble era… it was youthful indiscretion (laughs).” Junko 我妻淳子, 56, mother of two. Now settled, but in her youth she spent a flashy adolescence dancing on the stage of a famous disco at the height of the bubble economy. After the bubble burst and she married, she entered family life, gave birth to a son and a daughter, and spent 30 years living peacefully as a good wife and mother. The 30th wedding anniversary became a turning point for her to look back on her life as a woman, and she decided to reclaim the radiant woman she once was. The men who passed by — where are they now? After 30 years, a sealed past unknown to her family is opened.
