Showa Era Period drama: Motoharu loves Akira, his childhood friend, but Akira is bound by custom and family expectations to marry a woman selected for him by the people who looked after his mother, a woman whose social standing outweighed his capacity to support her. Akira does not confide in Motoharu, who cannot understand why their obviously mutual love, is being spurned. A beautiful story about the conflict of individuals with the larger society around them.
