Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

In the present day, Sakurako (Junko Abe) works for a local TV station. She researches into the Russian prisoners of war cemetery that local students keep clean. Her boss Shiro Kurata (Takumi Saito) tells her about a letter from Russian officer Sorokin and addressed to a Yui Takeda. They travel to Russia to look into Sorokin's diary.

In 1904, during the Russo-Japanese War, Yui (Junko Abe) nurses injured Russian officer Sorokin (Rodion Galyuchenko) at a POW camp in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. At first, Yui hates Sorokin, because her younger brother died in the war. Her feelings change, as they fall in love under difficult circumstances.
