During the 1940s, Suzu, a recent bride, departs from her family to live with her spouse, a sailor serving in the Japanese navy, at a military installation in the coastal town of Kure. She finds it difficult to acclimate to this unfamiliar environment while facing the grim truths of a wartime existence and the mounting destruction of her country.
