Yokubo from director Tetsuo Shinohara is based off of the award-winning love story by Mariko Koike. A young man searching for physical comfort and dumb lust, and the world-weary woman drowning in a sea of men that works with him. This is a fantastic new film from a remarkably skilled cast about "the beauty of sensualism."

大正时代，出身贵族的松枝侯爵家嗣子松枝清显（妻夫木聪饰演），对青梅竹马的绫仓伯爵家的掌上明珠聪子（竹内结子饰演）情有独钟，但清显一直没有勇气向她表白，反而笨拙地示爱或者伤害，甚至因为误会中断联系。然而由于贵族彼此间的复杂考虑，聪子和治典殿下订了家族婚事，清显这才发现他对聪子的爱无法自拔，通过多方设法，使两人得以私下偷会，但恰恰这样的行为反让这对情侣都陷入绝望的苦恋而无法自拔，已是他人未婚妻的聪子怀孕后，真相无法掩藏，他们走向了爱情的尽头。
