When Sokichi stops providing his long-time lover Kikuyo enough money to pay for the care of their three young children, Kikuyo leaves the children with Sokichi - and his very surprised and angry wife Oume - and disappears.
An unexpected influx of three young children shatters the fragile stability of a middle-class marriage. This quiet domestic collision forces a confrontation between duty and the ghosts of a discarded past.
