When his grandfather dies suddenly, he returns to the ancestral home to pay his respects. Inside the house he meets a quiet young girl named Rin, who astonishingly turns out to be his grandfather"s illegitimate daughter. The family regards her as a source of shame, and after the patriarch"s death they all refuse to look after her. Angered by their coldness, Daikichi declares that he will take Rin into his care even though he has never raised a child before.
