In 1924 (Taisho 13). Yoshiko Yuasa (played by Nahana) worked as an editor for a magazine called Woman's Love of Country while studying Russian. A famous female writer, Yaeko Nogami (played by Yoriko Doguchi), introduced Yuriko Chujo (played by Hitomitoi) to Yoshiko.

Yuriko was a popular grassroots writer. Her first writings appeared at the age of 17, and she was acclaimed by Japanese society as a genius. While she was studying in New York at the age of 19, she married a scholar, Shigeru Araki, fifteen years her senior, whose major interest was Ancient Persian. When Yuriko met Yoshiko five years later, their marriage had grown very frustrating.

Yoshiko and Yuriko were instantly drawn to each other. But Yoshiko was a woman who openly said "I love women like men do." They soon established passionate relationship and intensely explored their connection to determine if it was love or friendship, thus deepening their mutual love and affection.

But for Yuriko's husband, Araki, their relationship was a shocking development that might irrevocably damage his life. At the age of 20, Araki had gone to the United States, where he studied for fifteen years. Thanks to Yuriko's parents, he returned to Japan and became a university professor. He would have done anything not to lose Yuriko.

In this movie, Yuriko, Yoshiko, and Araki travel between Tokyo, where they lived, and Fukushima, where Yuriko's grandmother lived, portraying an emotional drama of love and hate, both heterosexual and lesbian.
