The film is based on a manga by Fumiyo Kono called To All The Corners Of The World (Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni). It depicts the story of Suzu Urano, a newlywed who had to move to Kure City to begin a new life with her husband. Director Sunao Katabuchi describes her as someone with great imagination and a talent for drawing. She illustrates a woman who is always smiling despite the shortages and hardships experienced during the war.
