B.G Story: Designs of a 20 Year-Old (1961)
Ayako Kurimura, a new B.G. at Nitto Electric, becomes the object of affection for both her brother's colleague Kazuo Fukami and the flirtatious executive’s son, Hiroshi Tsuzawa. As office romances and corporate ambitions collide, relationships shift: heartbreak leads to new connections, old flames reemerge, and Hiroshi is ultimately disowned. Ayako helps him reunite with former lover Yoko, sending them off to Osaka while those around her find new beginnings.
