Determined to repay an old debt of gratitude, Hatsu moves from Akita to Tokyo to offer her services as a nanny to the Kajiki's, an exemplarily bourgeois urban family. The young provincial girl soon becomes aware of the differences between her hometown and the Japanese capital while she develops a special relationship with Katsumi, the Kajiki's youngest son. A true epic of the small gestures of everyday life, The Nanny's Boy shortens the geographical, psychological and social distances in the micro-cosmos of the house only to prepare us for the inevitable farewell.
