ONE MILLION YEN GIRL

21-year-old Suzuko gets into trouble with co-workers from her part time job and ends up in jail. Coming out from jail, living with her parents no longer seems like an option. She takes on various jobs: cleaning offices, delivering newspapers, and saves up a million yen to embark on a journey. She finds herself in a seaside resort and starts working as a temporary staff at a guesthouse. A local boy falls for her, but she has promised herself to leave for another town once she saves up a million yen. Reaching her goal rather quickly, she packs her small suitcase with her favorite handmade curtain and skips town. Her next destination is a peach plantation deep in the mountains. She finds a job at a farm run by a single middle-aged man and his mother. The villagers ask Suzuko to become a peach girl as a part of campaign for the village, but she confesses that she has a criminal record. The villagers turn against her and she decides to leave town quietly. Then she arrives in a small city not too far from Tokyo and lands a job at a gardening shop. Nakajima, her coworker and a college student, is gentle and sweet. They fall in love. But when Nakajima hears of Suzuko`s rule to skip town once she saves a million yen, a chasm begins to grow deeper.
