She decides to get the business back on track and produce the best Japanese whisky in the industry. However, she also has to face other problems along the way.
Her family has fallen apart as well, and they are struggling to communicate, which is something that she is going to try to fix. This proves to be one of the key plot threads in the film.
A natural disaster also plays a huge role in the family’s fortune, and this is another ordeal Rui has to deal with during the story.
