The Russian army invades, and Tetsu flees with her sons, while her husband (played by Abe Hiroshi) stays behind to fight. The family manage to flee to Hokkaido, and eventually settle in Abashiri. The plot then skips forward to 1971, and one of the sons, Shujiro (Masato Sakai) is now an executive at a US Multi National Hot Dog sales company.[2] While visiting Sapporo, he encounters his mother, from whom he had previously become estranged. His mother, now down on her luck, seeks his help. while he and his wife are reluctant to assist. The plot looks at the past of the family.[1]

gollark: The Pi 4 has 4 A72 cores and the RP64 has 2 A72 ones plus 4 A53 ones, but they're clocked higher. I don't know which of those is actually *better*, since I haven't checked benchmarks.
gollark: There's also Pine's own RockPro64, which I think is ~~about as fast~~ somewhat faster as the Pi4 CPU-wise, and the ODROID N2, which is probably one of the most powerful reasonably cheap ARM SBCs about.
gollark: The RPi4 has a better CPU and GPU than the 3, no idea if it can run that.
gollark: <@140164484827185152> On the smart TV thing, I've heard that they're sold for less than "dumb" ones because the manufacturers make money off selling data from them.
gollark: London gets stupidly fast (10Gbit in some places, even) fibre, but most of the UK isn't London.
