The film begins in the 1950s: life is back to normal for most Australians, but for Aya (Eri Ishida) the conflict is just beginning. She has risked everything by marrying Frank (Nicholas Eadie), an Australian soldier on duty with the Occupation forces in Japan. Facing hostility from her own family, fearing rejection by her new mother-in-law, and facing humiliation from Australian government officials, she joins Frank in her new home in Melbourne. Over the next two decades, Aya battles to embrace a new country and its culture. As she gains strength and confidence, her marriage to Frank deteriorates into bitterness and violence. Her personal quest for fulfilment leads her eventually to Hobart and the start - yet again - of a new life for herself, but this time in full control of her own destiny. Aya's story is not based on a particular case, but draws on the experiences of many war brides who made a home for themselves in Australia. Altogether, around 650 Japanese women married Australian soldiers and settled in Australia, and most have stayed. As in Aya, most of their children grew up not speaking Japanese; some women were even forbidden to speak Japanese to their children, as their husbands were worried about their children's assimilation.
