In a remote manor, the newly widowed daughter-in-law Etsuko lives. In the trough of jealousy and desire, she fell in love with the gardener Saburo, and took big steps every time. She doesn't want to be rescued, but wants to pursue the deepest feelings in the world. Perhaps, everyone has an impulse. Faced with loneliness, we desperately ask for love. But love is like flowing water, what you get is just luck, and what you lose is life. Japan's "Madame Bovary".
