Villon's Wife (ヴィヨンの妻 〜桜桃とタンポポ〜, Viyon no tsuma – ōtō to tanpopo) is a 2009 Japanese drama film directed by Kichitaro Negishi.

[1] Sachi is the long-suffering wife of popular novelist Otani in post-World War II Japan.

Brilliant but self-destructive, Otani spends his days drinking, running up debts, and looking for inspiration with other women.

A visit from Miyo and Kichizo, the owners of the tavern which Otani frequents, informs Sachi that her husband has run up a fortune in debts and has stolen money from them.

To pay off the debt, Sachi becomes a waitress at the bar, where her beauty and warmth bring in new customers.
