Roses Bloom on a Rose Tree

The film centers on Yano Reiko, a part-time student who becomes the tutor for Mariko, the second daughter of the affluent Todo family. As Reiko navigates her new role, she encounters Tomoe, Mariko's elder sister, and Fuyuhiko Kanae, an architectural engineer involved in designing the family's villa.
