The Japanese Wife [DVD]

Snehmoy (Rahul Bose) and Miyage (Chigusa Takaku) are pen friends who exchange
wedding vows through letters. Fifteen years pass but they never meet. Yet the
bond of marriage is strong between them. This unusual relationship comes under
a cloud when a young widow, Sandhya (Raima Sen), comes to stay with Snehmoy
along with her eight-year-old son Poltu. Snehmoy and the little boy bond and
the arithmetic teacher discovers the joy of palpable bonds and fatherhood.
There develops an inexplicable thread of understanding with Sandhya too. But
Snehmoy remained loyal to his unseen Japanese wife. When Miyage was ill from
cancer, he took a long leave from his school and tried his best to find a cure
for the illness. Meanwhile, malaria took a toll on him and he passed away.
Coming of Miyage in a white sari to Sunderbans after his departure was really
touching.
