Floating Clouds (浮雲 Ukigumo?) is a 1955 Japanese film directed by Mikio Naruse. It is based on the novel of the same name by Japanese author and poet Fumiko Hayashi. Floating Clouds follows female protagonist Koda Yukiko, a Japanese woman just returned to Japan from French Indochina, where she has been working as a secretary. The novel is set place after World War II and contains the common post-war theme of wandering; Yukiko struggles to find where she belongs in post-war Japan, and ends up floating endlessly until her death at the novel's end.
