Based on the autobiographical novel by Koda Aya, this made-for-TV movie follows the siblings Gen and Hekiro and their relationship with each other. Set in the 1900s, it tells the story of Hekiro, a young and gifted, yet weak student, and his younger sister Gen who eventually becomes Hekiro's surrogate mother. The young woman takes on the role of parent and takes care of her brother until his premature death from consumption.
