In this strict, male-dominated society, women may not even enter the brewery--and repressive tradition demands that Rie turn over her family's business to the inept philanderer she's been forced to marry. She is even expected to raise her husband's children by another woman--a geisha--so that they can eventually run the Omura enterprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut Rie's pride will not allow her to relinquish what is rightfully hers.
