Synopsis

Distanced from his father Yohji for twenty years, Takashi is brought back home by a jarring police call – Yohji (Tatsuya Fuji, "In the Realm of the Senses") has disconnected from reality due to dementia, and his second wife Naomi (Hideko Hara, "Shall We Dance?") is missing. Asked where she is, the old man replies that she committed suicide. While trying to find out the truth about his stepmother, Takashi traces the past of Yohji he has never been able to accept.
