Adding to the family's emotional landscape, Professor Ho's daughter, Tada, returns from overseas, her own marriage on the brink of collapse. Initially, Harue's lively spirit and Professor Ho's traditional demeanor lead to frequent clashes. He struggles to understand the rural woman and contemplates dismissing her, yet feels bound by his commitment regarding her daughter's future in the capital. Despite their stark differences, a powerful, shared love for their daughters becomes the unexpected bridge between them.
