Mom and Grandma need to go to Kochi on urgent business.  Dad, Bunji and Fumi are left at home and, with Dad's "Freedom Declaration", enjoy their freedom to the fullest... Mom and Grandma's urgent business was a relative's funeral. The funeral is for the husband of a cousin who Mom hadn't seen in a long time. Funerals in the country side are lively, as people laugh and cry as they reminisce together... While being taken to the airport by Mom's brother and his wife, Mom is shocked by the stories about incredible hardships surrounding childbirth from her normally quiet and ladylike sister-in-law. Bunji and Fumi are enjoying their "Freedom", but the loneliness from Mom being gone worsens...
Eating pudding when you have
freedom is quite exceptional.
