So Goes My Love

Shigeo is a struggling writer (is there any other kind?) who moves in with his girlfriend after his family opposes their marriage. Minako, a cafe waitress, tries to support them both, but Shigeo's family is intent on destroying their relationship. With all the odds stacked against them, Minako must finally decide between love and logic... A modernist melodrama filled with period Tokyo landmarks like Ginza department stores and art deco architecture. Its influence can even be found in Ozu's Equinox Flower.
