Im Osten Tokios lebt die fünfköpfige Familie Shibata in ärmlichen Verhältnissen. Vater Osamu bestreitet mit Gelegenheitsjobs und Mutter Nobuyo mit einer Anstellung in einer Wäscherei ein spärliches Einkommen. Um die Familie samt gemeinsamem Sohn Shouta und Nobuyos Tochter Aki, die sich prostituiert, finanziell über die Runden bringen zu können, greift die Familie auf die Rente der Großmutter Hatsue zurück, während Osamu zudem mit seinem Sohn Ladendiebstähle begeht.

An einem Wintertag entdecken die beiden im Korridor eines benachbarten Appartementkomplexes ein frierendes junges Mädchen namens Yuri. Osamu, der den Anblick nicht ertragen kann, kann das Mädchen überzeugen, fürs Erste ins Hause Shibata mitzukommen. Zu Hause angekommen bemerkt die Familie Anzeichen körperlichen Missbrauchs an Yuris Körper und es wird kurzerhand entschieden, Yuri zum sechsten Mitglied der Familie zu machen. Das neue Familienleben soll jedoch nur von kurzer Dauer sein. Durch bald darauf folgende Ereignisse wird die Familie auseinandergerissen und die Geheimnisse und Wünsche der einzelnen Familienmitglieder kommen Schritt für Schritt ans Licht …
