Wakako, a famous hairdresser, discovers that a young girl visiting her salon one day has a scar on her ear and realizes she is her daughter, Kayoko. Twelve years earlier, Wakako had divorced her husband due to incompatibility. Every time Kayoko visits, Wakako is overjoyed and dotes on her, thinking she would never see her again. However, her husband, Yasuzo, tries to give her money, saying he doesn't want her to see Kayoko, and Wakako is disillusioned by her husband's unchanging behavior. After a photographer named Masumura confesses his love for her, Wakako is about to start a new life with a fresh start.
