Description

Tokyo, 1923. With the emergence of a new generation of intellectuals in Japan, the Japanese feminist movement also gains traction in their demands for gender equality and freedom from paternalism. Young Akiko Hashou, daughter of a high-ranking noble, and her chambermaid Sara Uchida, both born on the same day, approve of the movement’s ideals and dream of finding their respective partner for life by their choice and free from social constraints of any kind. While Sara, who comes from a modest background, knows this to be wishful thinking, Akiko is convinced she will not consider any other course of action in her pursuit of love. When the two are rescued from thugs by Takao “Taka” Itou, the rising star of a local yakuza group, Akiko is captivated by the freedom Taka displays in his actions and wagers everything to get closer to the charismatic gangster – even her relationship to Sara.

As the drama between Akiko, Sara, and Taka unfolds, the city is heading towards the devastating events of 1 September 1923, which won’t leave the three unscathed …

Die junge Adelstochter Akiko Hashou und ihr Zimmermädchen Sara Uchida, die beide am selben Tag geboren sind, hängen den Idealen der Bewegung ebenfalls an und träumen davon, ihren Partner fürs Leben losgelöst von jeglicher Bevormundung und aus freien Stücken wählen zu können. Während Sara, die aus einfachen Verhältnissen stammt, den Verwirklichungschancen dieser Idealvorstellung realistisch entgegenblickt, ist Akiko überzeugt, dass dies der einzige Weg ist, den sie in der Liebe beschreiten will. Als die beiden von Takao „Taka“ Itou, dem jungen Hoffnungsträger einer örtlichen Yakuza-Gruppe in der Not gerettet werden, ist Akiko fasziniert von ihm und setzt alles daran, dem charismatischen Gangster näherzukommen – auch ihre Beziehung zu Sara.

Während sich ein Charakterdrama zwischen Akiko, Sara und Taka entfaltet, steuert die Stadt auf die verheerenden Ereignisse des 1. September 1923 zu, die auch vor dem Trio nicht haltmachen werden …
