Sada Abe was the seventh of eight children of Shigeyoshi and Katsu Abe, a respectably hard-working, but undistinguished upper middle-class family of tatami mat makers in Tokyo's Kanda neighborhood.
Abe's mother encouraged her to take lessons in singing and in playing the shamisen, both activities which, at the time, were more closely associated with geisha and prostitutes than with classical artistic endeavor.
Abe's apologies were for the damage to his political career that she knew his association with her was bound to cause.

Sada is essentially a biopic, chronicling her life from the age of 14 (when she lost her virginity) to a seemingly happy old age.
Later on, especially in the central romance between Sada and her hen-pecked lover Tatsuzo (ex-comedian Tsurutaro Kataoka), the visuals are designed to be reminiscent of films from the 'golden age' of Japan's studios.
The director also delves beneath the facts of the case to explore Sada's character and the traumas and obsessions that drove her to this amour fou.
