| Summary | Tsuruyo, a young hotel clerk in post-war Japan, leads a quiet, detached existence, her vibrant past in America a carefully sealed memory. But on Easter, a whimsical invitation from the enigmatic Kawada lures her aboard an incoming ship for a lively dance. There, amidst the festivities, she confronts Obara Higashijou, a charismatic figure from her tumultuous childhood—a man who once embodied her deepest, unspoken questions about family and belonging. As the night blurs into dawn, a shocking revelation about Obara threatens to unravel Tsuruyo’s understanding of her own identity and her mother's mysterious life. Will this unexpected encounter with her past finally set her free, or will it condemn her to a future steeped in resentment? |
