1939, während des sino-japanischen Krieges. Nishi ist eine junge Krankenschwester, die gerade in ein Krankenhaus auf dem Land beordert wurde nach ihrer Rückkehr von der Front. Unter ihren Augen defilieren die blutigen Körper, an denen die Ärzte Amputationen durchführen. Nishi versucht, diesen hilflosen und beschädigten Männern Trost zu bieten, indem sie sich ihnen hingibt. Der einzige Mann, an den sie nicht herankommt, ist Doktor Okabe, ein Morphiumabhängiger, zu dem sie eine starke Zuneigung empfindet…
