Post-war Japan, 1948. A celebrated painter named Masuji Ono settles into what should be a peaceful retirement—tending his garden, overseeing house repairs, and spending evenings with old friends in dimly lit bars. Yet beneath this calm surface, his past weighs heavily. Memories of a career intertwined with Japan's militarist era creep back, casting an unsettling shadow over his present life. A haunting meditation on art, history, and the ghosts we cannot escape.
