Gou-ichi Takata (Ken Takakura) is an aging Japanese fisherman who has been estranged from his son Ken-ichi (voice of Kiichi Nakai). The son's wife, Rie (Shinobu Terajima), contacts Gou-ichi to report that his son has terminal cancer. Ken-ichi refuses to see him, but Rie does give Gou-ichi a video tape that Ken-ichi has been working on. That tape marks the turning point as Gou-ichi journeys to China to complete the video and, in the process, begins to understand more about the relationship between his son and himself.
