How many storms and how many autumns

The story takes place in Japan in 1932. The young lighthouse keeper Shiro Arisawa (played by Keiji Sada) brought his newly married wife Qingzi (played by Hideko Takamine) to the Kannonzaki Lighthouse in Tokyo Bay to take up his post. Afterwards, Kiyoko gave birth to two children for her husband, Yukino (played by Masako Arisawa) and Kotaro (played by Nakamura Yoshio). The life of a lighthouse keeper is very poor and boring, but Shiro still feels very happy when he is with his family. In 1937, Shiro's family moved to a desert island and was stationed at the Mejima Lighthouse there. As time went by, the couple had more and more quarrels and cracks in their relationship appeared. After that, Shiro climbed from a small tower keeper to the pinnacle of his profession - the lighthouse master. In the process, he gained a lot, but also lost more.
