Synopsis

The film is set in the Meiji (1868-1912) era. Uta, a wandering itinerant performer, meets Hiramatsu, a tea wholesaler from Hamamatsu, at an inn in Shinshu (Nagano), and joins his household. Hiramatsu’s sudden death causes the business to collapse and Hiramatsu’s son Shotaro, who had been attending university in Tokyo, returns to take care of his siblings. However, Uta offers to look after them in his place, and urges Shotaro to remain at university. (FILMAFFINITY)
