Fans of History, Drama films may find Kah-chan especially interesting thanks to its engaging atmosphere, visual presentation, and entertainment value.

Okatsu is a widow raising five children - adults but still mama-dependent - in mid-eighteenth century Edo, Japan. Her frugality attracts unflattering comment even amid national tough times (the region is in famine) What Okatsu tells no one is that she saves so that a friend can start his own business once he's released from prison.
