Keiko becomes the second wife of Shizuo, the owner of a real estate company whose wife died in the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, through an arranged marriage. Despite the 20-year age difference, they are happy at first. However, as the company's financial situation worsens, their married life becomes colder, and Shizuo shows no interest in Keiko's advances. Around that time, Shizuo's son, Akira, who is not working much, begins to pressure Keiko into a physical relationship. Keiko, feeling lonely, accepts and becomes obsessed with sex. Then, when Keiko starts working part-time as an insurance salesman, Akira proposes that she murder Shizuo for the insurance money...

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
