Description

After the suicide of her elder daughter, Etsuko, who has settled in the English countryside, she mentally returns to postwar Nagasaki. Fragments of the past—encounters with the mysterious Sachiko and her child—gradually come together into a tense meditation on memory and self-deception, guilt, motherhood, and the loss she has endured.
