Mitsuko (Setsuko Karasuma) is a woman who moves from one lover to the next -- some of whom get angry at her willingness to turn to other men, others who have been around the block more than once do not particularly care. Even when one of her lovers sacrifices his construction job to be with Mitsuko, it fails to come across as very much of an exchange. In short, Mitsuko may be nicknamed "Manon" after the lead character in Abbe Prevost's Manon Lescaut, but she does not seem to share anything beyond the name and multiple relationships.
