She's an innocent abroad, and part of what makes the movie charming is her inability to process what happens to her. Like her husband, Riyo takes life one day at a time; rather than admit defeat and embrace unhappiness, she simply revises her expectations of life so that they match what fate has dealt her. Together, Riyo and Matsuji form the core of a modestly wrought, very unusual romance. The message is that bliss isn't found: it's made.
