Overview
In the city of Osaka, there is a place where new and expectant mothers can receive support for their physical and emotional wellbeing. Hisako, a former midwife, is the person who takes care of them. With 11 children of her own and one divorce behind her, Hisako knows firsthand the struggles that come with motherhood. By simply listening to their stories - and sometimes shedding tears along with them - she helps young mothers adjust to their new roles, look toward the future, and start smiling once again.
