BLIND

In post-war Japan, a businessman finds himself unable to recover a substantial debt owed by the head of a remote village. Seeking compensation through other means, he decides to take the village head's daughter as his mistress. The young woman is forced to leave her home and enter a life of servitude and intimacy with a man she barely knows, bound by obligation rather than choice.

The arrangement strips her of autonomy, as she must navigate the expectations of her new role while grappling with the power imbalance between them. Her days become a quiet struggle between duty and her own desires, set against the backdrop of a society still recovering from war. The businessman, driven by pragmatism, views her as a transaction fulfilled, yet their interactions reveal unspoken tensions and hidden emotions.

As they coexist in a fragile arrangement, both must confront the consequences of a deal that blurs the lines between debt, possession, and human connection. The story explores themes of power, sacrifice, and the search for agency in a world where survival often comes at a personal cost.
