V době korejské války se láska Američana a Japonky střetává s předsudky a nedorozuměními v důsledku jejich rozdílného kulturního původu. Hluboce propracované drama Sayonara se odehrává v Japonsku během Korejské války. Na dovolené se major americké armády Joe Kelly (Red Buttons) zamiluje do japonské dívky Katsumi (Miyoshi Umeki). Kvůli oficiální politice armády, která zakazuje sňatky mezi různými rasami, musí Kelly čelit vojenskému soudu.
In the world of Kabuki, where family social standings are highly valued, Kyonosuke Kawamura is inept even though he is born as the son of a duke of a famous household.

Through some kind of karma, these two completely opposite boys have fallen in love with the same girl, Ayame Chiba.
