The film is something of an epilogue; set in 2005, 60 years after the war, it opens at a crematorium in Kobe, just after the aunt, Hisako Sawano has died at the age of 95. The funeral director comments how a person who lived through the Meiji, Taisho, Showa and Heisei eras had finally gone to rest. After the funeral, Seita's and Setsuko's cousin, who is now a grandmother herself, begins to tell her granddaughter about the family's struggle to survive during the Second World War, and the emotional scars that it left.

L'histoire commence en 1882 à Saint-Pétersbourg, en Russie. Sacha est une jeune fille russe de l'aristocratie. Son grand-père Oloukine, qu'elle admire et aime beaucoup, est un grand explorateur qui a disparu à bord de son brise-glace, le Davaï, parti en expédition scientifique à la conquête du pôle Nord. Le tsar reproche au défunt grand-père de Sacha d'avoir perdu le Davaï, un brise-glace à la coque extrêmement résistante qu'il avait fait construire à grands frais. Il a promis une récompense d'un million de roubles à qui retrouverait le Davaï, mais les recherches menées pour retrouver le brise-glaces n'ont rien donné. Un jour, Sacha découvre par hasard un feuillet manuscrit de la main d'Oloukine indiquant qu'il n'a pas emprunté le chemin que l'on croyait pour gagner le pôle nord : il n'est pas passé par l'est mais par l'ouest. Le soir même, les parents de Sacha donnent un bal où est invitée la haute société pétersbourgeoise, dont le prince Tomsky, qui vient d'être nommé nouveau conseiller scientifique du tsar. Ce bal doit être le premier où Sacha sera présentée à la haute société. La jeune fille a écouté à la dérobée une conversation du prince et sait que celui-ci déteste Oloukine. Elle accepte néanmoins d'ouvrir le bal avec lui, mais, pendant et après la danse, elle tente de le convaincre que les secours n'ont pas cherché le Davaï au bon endroit. Le prince Tomsky en prend prétexte pour faire un scandale et humilier publiquement Sacha et ses parents. La famille de la jeune fille tombe alors en disgrâce.
