During the 1860s, the final years of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Tose runs the Teradaya inn in Kyoto’s Fushimi district while coping with husband Isuke and mother‑in‑law Sada. After Sugi abandons the family for a con artist, Tose cares for his child, nurses a dying Sada who seeks forgiveness, and runs the inn alone as Isuke takes a mistress.
