When Mio was young, she lost her parents in a great flood and also became separated from her best friend Noe. Afterwards, Mio found her talent in cooking and eventually became a cook. Meanwhile, Noe has become an oiran (high-ranking courtesan).
Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Just perfect...
It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
