A documentary capturing the everyday lives of a couple who live at a sanatorium for leprosy sufferers. Through its depictions of the wife who cannot see and is physically disabled, and her husband who fusses over her, we gain glimpses of the life they have led together.

Seventy-eight-year-old Tojo Taka and his seventy-five-year-old wife Yasue have lived there for over sixty years.
