In 1936 Japan, 20-year-old Natsumi Sekiya faces an unexpected arranged marriage to Takimasa Ebata, a reserved Imperial Navy lieutenant. Their wedding day is unconventional, with Takimasa absent due to training, leaving Natsumi to navigate her new role alone. Both inexperienced in domestic life and romance, they fumble through early married life, from awkward attempts at intimacy to learning household tasks. Set against the backdrop of a seaside town, their daily routines—cooking, sharing meals, and exchanging shy gestures—build a tender bond. Natsumi’s earnest efforts and Takimasa’s quiet sincerity shape their gradual journey toward closeness.
