Brother and sister Hide and Yuki set out on a journey
from their enforced exile in Hokkaido to reclaim the
home lost to their uncle after their father's death. Set
in the 1920s, this is a tale of corruption, courage and
redemption as two young people come of age and a
nation makes the uncomfortable transition from
feudalism to modernity.
