With American domination of Japan foremost in the minds of many Japanese citizens, Uchida uses a stinging family drama as a metaphor for the state of post-war Japan. Amidst endless construction and aircraft noise, a family whose father died in the war slowly disintegrates, as the daughter and stepmother juggle for position in a country whose future was uncertain.
