The Journey of Two Sisters: Betrayal, Struggle, and Resilience
In 1929, two sisters, Chiyo and Satsu, find their destinies irreversibly altered when they are sold by their impoverished father and taken to Kyoto. The story unfolds as Chiyo is separated from her sister upon arrival, destined for a life within an okiya, a geisha house, while Satsu is deemed unfit for such a life and sold to a bawdy house. This geographical and emotional separation sets the tone for the trials and tribulations that follow.
