Synopsis by John Voorhees:
"A critical act at the heart of "Hot Summer Winds," the one-hour drama on PBS' "American Playhouse" at 10 p.m. tomorrow on KCTS-TV, is the writing of haiku, traditional Japanese poems, poems that are as spare, elegant and memorable as this film. "Hot Summer Winds" is based on two short stories by Hisaye Yamamoto about a Japanese-American farm family living in rural California in the late 1930s. The husband, played by Sab Shimono, grows increasingly aware that his wife, played by Natsuko Ohama, is better-educated than he and he reacts badly to her attempts at writing poetry, at trying to create moments of beauty in their hard life. The plot is further complicated by the arrival of a farm hand, played by Pepe Serna, who is fascinated by the wife's quiet beauty and to whom the wife turns for solace. Certainly it's a familiar plot but what Yamamoto and filmmaker Emiko Omori have done with it makes it a haunting experience. The dialogue, like haiku, suggests more than it says, and the acting is as restrained, simple and beautiful as classical Japanese painting."
