Japan, the late 1960s. Nagisa, a shy young woman from Tokyo, lands on Hegura, a tiny island lost in the Sea of Japan. What is she going to do there? Nobody knows. But if she wants to stay, she will have to find her place among the mistresses, women who dive naked in search of the precious limpets and have their own status, are free and strong heads of families and only obey the laws of their clan.
