A film that makes my heart hurt, placing small children who are still innocent in the care of adults who are clearly not entirely good because it all starts from lust & jealousy that finally sparks fire.

It just hurt to see the kids to go through the "hell", and everything happened because men stupidity to fall into lust, especially when they in good financial situation, it's great that you take the responsibility but what makes it complicated because the situation is Sokichi having an affair with Kikuyo who gives birth to 3 children in their 7 years of relationship, all of that makes his legitimate wife, Oume falls into a deep pain in seeing her husband having children with other women while he and Sokichi do not have children which resulting in jealousy and delegated as anger towards the children, that's what I think.

What happened next was inner upheaval, seeing the 3 children experienced heinous thing done by those adults I've mention above, and it's clearly making me sad, furious, etc. -_-

The ending clearly shows "there's no way back" for everything the adults did or simply it's the opposite of "he's too stupid", and it's a relief.
