About this title

Synopsis

Half of Each Other takes place in Tokyo. It tells the story of Nick and Setsuko York, a once very fond married couple devoted to their adorable five-year-old daughter, Emi.

Half of Each Other is the story of a woman and a man challenged by the shock of an overwhelming grief. Both are overcome by an immense sorrow … both are tempted by the passions of an extra-marital affair.

We are all half of each other.

How these two people, who were once madly in love with each other, overcome their grief and come to terms with the death of their daughter, provides the narrative of this intensely moving, heart-rending and uplifting Irish-Japanese love story.
