De Japanse weduwe Etsuko woont in het Engeland van de jaren 80. Met haar dochter praat ze over de zelfdoding van haar andere dochter. Haar gedachten dwalen verder af naar haar eerdere leven in Japan en de relatie die ze er onderhield met de vrouw Sachiko en haar dochter Mariko. Stilaan wordt duidelijk wat Etsuko ertoe heeft aangezet om in Engeland een nieuw leven te beginnen.
