C-1616AI Life Journey #002

At that moment, a woman looks back on her life. Having passed the midpoint of her journey, she shares a brief encounter with her younger self. A spin-off project from Married Woman Affair Travel, directed by Koichi Takahashi, Life Journey #002 follows Yukie, 45 years old, married for 18 years, divorced for 8, and a mother of three. Because this is a place tied to her memories, she feels she cannot move forward without first facing it. Her childhood was shaped by a mother who repeatedly fell in and out of love, married, and divorced, leaving her to struggle with moving and bullying. Determined to become independent, she learned to handle cooking and cleaning on her own from a young age. In her school days, she fell in love with the eldest son of a farming family, six years older than her, who would later become her husband. She married at 19 after becoming pregnant, then faced an unfamiliar life on the farm, conflict with her mother-in-law, three childbirths, raising children, and eventually divorce. Before she knew it, she was in her mid-forties, with her three children grown and living on their own. Looking back on her life, she chooses to move forward by placing herself in the hands of a man she has just met. This work is an AI remastered version of Life Journey #002 (140c01616).
