A widow who has single-handedly raised her autistic son loses her job and begins attending a technical college to gain new qualifications. She meets others looking for a new start in life, including a former salaryman with whom she begins a furtive romance...

On a Tokyo dump’s shantytown edge, interwoven vignettes follow residents scraping by: a boy who “drives” an imaginary trolley, a homeless father and son designing a dream house, a young woman brutalized at home, drunks, schemers, and saints of small kindnesses. Kurosawa crafts a ragged mosaic of hardship, fantasy, and flickers of grace that keep people moving forward.

日本连续剧《北国之恋》以温情慈爱的笔触，描写家庭亲情之爱，人性之爱。离了婚的父亲带着一对儿女从东京来到充满田园风光的日本北方小岛生活。影片细腻地描写他们从学校走入社会工作，成家立业，生儿育女。剧中人物尽管有着各种不如意的生活经历和自己无法掌控的现实，但他们最终都能战胜所面临的逆境，更加理解身边的人和事。
该剧首批81年在日本播出后，便成为家喻户晓的剧目。87年至2002年，又每年一次地用同班创作人员和演员，演出新的剧集。这种近乎纪录片的手法，也是它获得25-30%收视率的原因之一。
《北国之恋》被赞誉为“高尚精美的人性戏剧”，在日本多次获奖，该剧剧本还被选为日本高中语言教材，其拍摄地点日本北方小岛后也成为热心观众争相游览的旅游景点。

这是一部感人至深的制作，在日本很受欢迎，制作者每年推出一集，连续上演多年，而参加演出的演员阵容却没有变化，从而在艺术上实现了真实。在剧中扮演父亲的是日本著名的老演员田中邦 卫，曾经因为在《背叛》、《非凡的勇气》、《八墓村》等影视剧中的演出赢得了很好的声誉，而中国观众记忆最深的则是他在《追捕》中塑造的反派角色横路进二。在《北国之恋》中，他扮演的父亲朴实、勤劳、忠厚，为了一对儿女付出了一生的精力。在《北国之恋》中扮演兄妹的吉冈秀隆、中岛朋子都是从十岁起就开始参加该部电视剧的拍摄，可以说他们是随着这部电视剧长大的，当《北国之恋》最终封镜时，这对当年的童星也成了日本演艺界的名人。此外，在本剧中客串出演的有竹下景子、宫泽理惠等著名演员。
