Seibei Iguchi leads a difficult life as a low ranking samurai at the turn of the nineteenth century.

New prospects seem to open up when the beautiful Tomoe, a childhood friend, comes back into he and his daughters' life, but as the Japanese feudal system unravels, Seibei is still bound by the code of honor of the samurai and by his own sense of social precedence.
