This documentary follows the 40-year marriage between Japanese artists Ushio and Noriko Shinohara over a two-year period. Ushio was 20 years older than Noriko and already gaining fame as an artist when they met. Noriko sacrificed her own artistic career to support Ushio's work. Though Ushio never achieved the same level of success he once expected, Noriko began to pursue her own art more in their later years. The film explores the universal themes of aging, sacrifice in relationships, and the role of art in their lives.
