Despite her outwardly happy and tranquil life as a wife and new mother, Yukimo is regularly troubled by a horrific nightmare about the death of her grandmother. When tragedy strikes her husband, Ikuo, the stress forces Yukimo into hermit-like solitude until a kindly widower attempts to draw her from her shell. This is the first scripted film by Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Koreeda, who had previously been been known for his documentaries.
