Rose has just turned forty when she receives a call from a lawyer asking her to come to Kyoto for the reading of her estranged father's will. For the first time in her life, she finds herself in Japan, where Paul, her father's assistant, is waiting to greet her. As Paul guides Rose along a mysterious itinerary designed by her deceased father, her initial bitterness and anger are gradually soothed by the stones and trees of the Zen gardens they move through. During their walks, Rose encounters various people who knew her father, including a potter and poet, an old lady friend, his housekeeper, and his chauffeur. These interactions help her slowly begin to accept a part of herself she has never before acknowledged. As the reading of the will approaches, her father posthumously opens his heart to her, offering a poignant understanding of his love and a way to accept all she has lost. The story is a drama focused on an adult cast, exploring themes of grief, reconciliation, and self-discovery against the evocative backdrop of Kyoto, Japan.
