Yumiko (Esumi) and Ikuo (Asano) are a young Osaka couple who had just received their first baby. One day Ikuo throws himself in front of a train, seemingly without motive. A few years pass. Yumiko agrees to an arranged marriage with a widower, Tamio (Nait?), and she and Yuichi (her son, now played by Gohki Kashima) move to Tamio's house in a rustic village on the Sea of Japan coast, shot on location in Wajima, on the Noto Peninsula.
