東京女作家下鄉調查二戰婦女史，巧遇孤苦伶仃的獨居老婦阿崎，兩人結為忘年之交，阿崎逐漸卸下心防，娓娓訴說年少時被騙往南洋從娼，在馬來西亞山打根遭愛人背叛、軍隊蹂躪，返鄉後又被家人遺棄的淒楚際遇。

《望鄉》改編自山崎朋子的報導文學，以現代女性觀點直視日本軍國主義的殘酷，片尾將「唐行小姐」死後背對祖國的墓碑，延伸為日本女性的憤怒控訴，深刻反思侵略戰爭的殤痛。「母親／娼妓」是田中絹代戰後緊密交纏的二元銀幕形象，熊井啟看過她在《西鶴一代女》的精湛表演後深受感動，力邀她演出本片，田中形神交融的動人詮釋，讓她晚年再登表演生涯巔峰。

Set in modern Japan, a determined female journalist befriends an elderly woman who was forcibly shipped to Borneo in her youth and later sold into prostitution. Tanaka Kinuyo's masterful portrayal of the old lady nods to her classic roles as "fallen women" in male directors' films. In contrast, the film adopts a female author's voice based on Yamazaki Tomoko's pioneering book, critiquing the country's militarism and mistreatment of women.
