Synopsis
Nurse Hatsuko Araki travels to Okino-shima, off southwestern Japan, where there is no doctor. The islanders are wary of Hatsuko at first, but she eventually wins their confidence, especially when she brings in a team of doctors from Kochi to study the parasite filaria, which causes a disease common to the islanders. Hatsuko becomes engaged to Dr. Takaoka, but she decides to remain unmarried when she realizes that she cannot leave the people of the island.
