Overview

Motoko (Yuko Asano) handed in her resignation from the bank where she had worked for many years. Whilst her male colleagues from the same intake were being promoted, her boss, Murai (Kenjiro Ishimaru), and the branch manager—who had long regarded the veteran Motoko as a hindrance—were delighted to be rid of her. Two months later, it emerged that Motoko had embezzled 170 million yen from the bank’s accounts. When Murai pressed her to repay the money, Motoko showed him a notebook listing the bank’s fictitious accounts and the real names of their clients, and threatened to make the information public.
