Synopsis:

Young Ichiro falls in love with pretty Yuko and takes her home to introduce to his widowed father, Michio. When Yuko finds Michio deaf-mute, she flees in a state of near-shock. Being the son of handicapped parents, Ichiro, despite being well-educated, has been unable to acquire either a good job or a sweetheart. Worried about his son, Michio asks Yuko to reconsider, but she flatly refuses, stating that she plans to marry someone else.

Sakai wants Ichiro to marry his daughter, Miyo, who was born deaf; but she refuses her father's plan saying she has a lover, who is also deaf and unable to get a good job despite his college education…
