Set in the early Showa period, the story follows working class ‘moga‘ Yoko (Ikewaki) who becomes personal secretary to author and founder of the Akutagawa and Naoki literary prizes Kikuchi Kan (Nishida) and is introduced to Tokyo’s burgeoning high society. She finds herself attracted to a handsome young editor named Ma Hae-song (Nishijima) descended from Korean nobility who dreams of returning to modernize his homeland, while at the same time the ageing Kan falls in love with Yoko and her youthful vitality.
