The love-starved protagonist, Terue, was horribly abused by her mother, Toyoko. As a result, Terue is hungry for love but doesnโt know how to be loved. Years later, Terue grows up and has a daughter Fukasa who is in senior high school. When she reunites with her estranged younger brother Tekenori, she recalls the suppressed memories of her miserable childhood. Then, with encouragement from Fukasa, Terue goes to Taiwan in search of her late fatherโs grave and learns something she never knew about her mother.
