Based on a novel by Rinzo Shiina. The story is set in Kita-Senju, a working-class part of Tokyo where “ghost chimneys” are seen. There appear to be two, three, or four smokestacks according to the angle from which they are seen. Under those four chimneys, a couple, Hiroko and Ryukichi, lives a humble life, having two lodgers on the second floor of their home. One day a baby appears before them. This baby is left on their doorstep, accompanied by a letter saying that the baby is Hiroko’s former husband’s…
