He learns the incredible balance of two cultures: Chinese and Japanese - the homely, warmth of Chinese style cooking with the artistry of Japanese cuisine: a balance they never had in their relationship. Family secrets also unravel and when she suddenly appears in Okinawa looking to find closure he cooks and serves her their final meal. Through it she discovers what she has been yearning for all these years.
