In 1944, Suzu Urano moves to the small town of
Kure in Hiroshima where she marries Shuusaku Houjou—a young clerk who
works at the local naval base. Living with his family, Suzu becomes essential
to the running of the household and creatively prepares meals during the
tough wartime conditions while also carrying out daily housework. In 1945,
intense bombings by the U.S. military finally reach Kure with devastating
effect to the townsfolk and their way of life. Suzu's life is changed irrevocably,
but through perseverance and courage, she manages to continue to live life
to the fullest.
