Yoshiko loved her daughter Chisa and husband Kenji, they were her family, her way of life. One day she took Chisa out on a jetty and holding her close, plunged into the lake. The Japanese call this "oyako shinju", parent/child suicide. For Yoshiko, it was a way to avoid the shame. Moonfall tells her story and a tragic clash of cultures.
