همه چیز بعد از جنگ جهانی دوم شروع میشه. فقر زندگی کوزوکو و مادرش رو فرا گرفته. برادرش به جنگ رفته ولی با وجود تموم شدن جنگ خبری ازش نیست. کوزوکو تازه از همسرش جدا شده و برای همین با مادر بیمارش زندگی می‌کنه. خورشید در حال غروب، بیش‌تر از هر چیزی درمورد اثرات جنگ روی زندگی آدم‌هاست؛ درمورد فقر، تنهایی، گم کردن مسیر زندگی، ناامیدی،درماندگی و شاید مرگ. نمی‌دونم چه چیزی درمورد قلم دازای وجود داره که باعث میشه همه‌ی اون درد و رنج و سیاهی رو با اعماق وجودت حس کنی.
