昔お会いした小百合さんの印象のまま今も残像していますよ。ポール・マッカートニーも小百合さんも愛と情熱の手本。

●

映画の主題：「大切な人からの申し送りの言葉を実行し続けた一人の妻の物語」 として完成されています。

「舞台演出」＋「実写映像」の組み合わせの一本構成作であり、観終えて深い心のクリニック的リフレッシュ感が味わえる感動作です。

「青い山脈」の如きコーラス楽曲が流れます。物語は一家の始まり、樺太平和の桜の樹から物語られます。ソ連軍アタックにより離散した妻達は、

網走市に移住者として渡航。貧困での虐めに耐え抜き、また数々の手助けに出会い生き抜きます。この部分は回想劇として後に後追い付帯されます。

事業で成功する息子に札幌市内での生活が始まります。ミネソタ州のコンビニエンスストア「ミネソタ２４」日本支店の支社長である。

丁度札幌オリンピック目前にして開店をするのであった。

突然網走市役所からの電話。１５年振りの再会はあっけなく。母せつ(小百合さん)は鏡の顔に話しかけていた。

「あら貴方また来てくれたのねえ、嬉しいわ。」と。「おにぎりが自慢」の「仮設住宅兼和食堂」の「立ち退き問題」が生じていた。面倒を見てくれていたのは

「近くの引退した駐在さん」だった。かつて生きる為に、「闇米の運搬の手伝い」をしてトラブルを何度も回避してくれていた人だった。

今でさえ、汚職だとか、セクハラだとか、時代が推移したのだが、人情で人は動いていた時代であった。どんな職業であっても。功労人が犠牲者は間違ってると。

せつさんの記憶は何度か途切れる。心にあったのは家族皆で撮影した樺太平和の頃の桜の木の下の集合写真だった。

何人もが死に絶え、今生きているのは僅か。そして網走での助けて貰った人々の事。毎年お参りに行っていた海の崖をロープで登る断崖絶壁に在る神社。

息子は会わずして過ごした時代に母が過ごした足跡を初めて知る。人を理解するのには同じく過ごす必要があった。そして、とある寒い雪の朝、母せつは、

失踪する。それから２年が経ち。網走時代の人々全員による捜索が完結する。ファーストシーンの集合写真に在った如く、再び北の桜の木の麓(ふもと)にて。

「寒いだろ。風邪をひくといけないからね。枯れてしまうからね。」と炭を塗っていた札幌公園の桜の木の事を、思い出していた「江連(えずれ)修二郎」の妻。

「♪菩提樹」か「♪仰げば尊し」の様な此の映画の主題歌「♪花、闌(たけなわ)の時」が流れる。感動の終幕を迎える。

是非、お近くの劇場でご覧下さい。

IT'S SUDDENLY CALL TO HIS OFFICE FROM THE ABASHIRI CITY DEPARTMENT. IT'S TIME FOR REUNION WITH HIS MOTHER SOON DONE IT.

15 YEARS OLD PAST ALREADY WHEN WAS SAID IT "GOODBYE" TO MOTHER.

HIS MOTHER SETSU (SAYURI YOSHINAGA) WAS TALK WITH HER FACE ON THE MIRROR.

"WELL, I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU AGAIN ! VERY GLAD."

THERE'S PROVISIONAL HOUSE WITH THE JAPANESE PUB RESTAURANT HAVING A PROBLEM OF EVACUATION BY THE LAW.

A BOAST DISH IS A RICE BALL AS CALL AS ONIGIRI, A VERY GOOD TASTE IT.

THERE'S A RETIREMENT POLICE OFFICER WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF HER SETSU, AND CARE FOR HER IN EVERYDAY.

SETSU AND KID HAD A JOB OF BLACK DELIVERY SERVICE WHAT'S ABOUT THE RICE BAGS FOR LIVE TO LIFE.

THAT POLICEMAN WAS SOME OVERLOOKED ABOUT HER JOBS IN THOSE DAYS. AND HER HIDDEN INTO GRASS FIELD.

THIS TIME NOW, PEOPLE KNEW SOME WORDS SO, CORRUPTION, SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE NEWS ON TV.

BUT IN OLD DAYS WITHOUT THERE'S WORDS AND THEN PEOPLES HAVING A WARM AND STRONG HEART AS A HUMANITY.

ALMOST PEOPLE WORK SO HARD TO EACH JOB KIND FOR LIVE TO LIFE.

. SOME PEOPLE'S DO NOT SAY TO CONTRIBUTORS WHAT IS NO ONE CRIMINAL, NO ONE GUILTY.

SOMETIMES, SETSU'S BRAIN WAS CAN NOT MEMORY CONTROLLED AND STOPPED.

BUT SHE'S MEMORY HAVING A PHOTOGRAPH OF HER FRIENDS WITH FAMILY PICTURE IN KARAFUTO AT SPRING DAY

 UNDER THE CHERRY-TREE. ALREADY THERE'S SOME PEOPLE WAS GONE, AND THE REST IS A FEW.
