Synopsis: Tanabata’s Wife is based on a Pinoy short story of the same name. The film follows a Japanese immigrant farmer Tanabata (Miyuki Kamimura), who relocates to La Trinidad Valley in Baguio, where the Japanese first led the farming of salad greens. The lonely and middle-aged Tanabata hires Fasang (Mai Fanglayan), a young Bontoc woman for help, and eventually falls in love with her. They get married and have a child, but she has her eyes set on the city of Baguio—and someone else.
