The Blossoming of Kamiya Etsuko

About the show

In a rural Kagoshima household near the end of the Second World War, bereaved Etsuko lives with her brother and sister-in-law and quietly loves her brother’s junior, Akashi. Her brother arranges her introduction to Akashi’s friend Nagayo; as the two men’s affection and Akashi’s impending kamikaze mission emerge, the family’s ordinary conversations carry the shadow of loss.
