Called "Shape Of Red", this very common themed movie of the same old thing - the wife stays home to take care of the husband and child and the husband doesn't care for her going to work because the housework isn't getting done or the child needs a babysitter. He also isn't giving her any sex but she provides for him. It doesn't take too long before she gets reunited with her first love who is now available.
So here is the thing - all the Japanese Dramas and Movies that I have watched thus far always have an ending that is hard to decipher, or open to interpretation. I hate watching things that need an explanation at the end. I keep trying new ones and it seems that this is just the Japanese style so if you don't care for this type of thing - watching a whole movie and then wondering what the heck happened, then it is not for you as it can be a little convoluted in the ending.
I am pretty sure I know what happened; could actually figure the ending out 1/2 through the movie when Tasuku Emoto, the ML having the affair with the FL ,told her he was sick 4 years ago and left it at that. The thing is we all knew what was going to happen so the ending was muffled up a bit or it would have just been a boring end for another boring housewife story with some hot sex missed in. The small few second clip before the credits IMO was in reference to an "unbuildable dream house" the FL designed and will never materialize either in bricks and mortar or in her marriage - the best part of the house that Tasuku Emoto remembers was the horizon view out the window as he stated before when she was reminiscing about their college days. She just keeps driving into the horizon because she lis never going to find it. And I think it is all just a memory of hers anyway and reminiscing again but don't take my word for it as it is is IMO and other's may have different opinions so you just need to watch it. Very confusing for sure.
