How it feels
Two sisters in Edo-period Japan work as a shamisen teacher and a seamstress, quietly supporting each other while wishing for each other's happiness. The older sister is clumsy, adding a soft comedic tone to their modest daily lives.

What happens
『なみだ川』は、1967年10月28日に大映が配給した、山本周五郎の『おたふく物語』を原作とした、三隅研次監督による文芸時代劇映画作品。藤村演じる姉はおっちょこちょいなのでロマンティック・コメディ的。 互いの幸せを願いながら、長唄の師匠、仕立屋として、それぞれが働きながら健気に生きている姉妹を描いた作品である。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
