A tense, morally ambiguous wartime thriller centered on a wife's growing suspicion and complicity, exploring loyalty and deception amid Japan's path to war.

It’s 1940, and the population of Japan is divided over its entry into World War II. Satoko, the wife of a fabric merchant, is devoted to her husband but is beginning to suspect he’s up to something. Soon she allows herself to be drawn into a game in which she enigmatically conceals her intentions.
