Video description: In 1929, Chiyo, a poor and defenseless young girl from a Japanese fishing village, is ripped away from her family and sold to a geisha house in Kyoto, where she is subjected to cruelty and hardship at the hands of the house's owners. The head geisha, Hatsumomo, also makes her life difficult, as she is threatened by Chiyo's striking beauty. With the help of Hatsumomo's longstanding rival, Mameha, however, Chiyo transforms herself into the renowned geisha Sayuri and enters the world of wealth and privilege afforded such accomplished women. The most powerful men in Japanese society are captivated by her, but she is tormented by a love for the one man who she cannot have.
