Фильм состоит из трёх новелл. Томико, героиня первой новеллы «Цветочница» (режиссёр Кодзабуро Ёсимура),— маленькая девочка, на плечи которой непосильным бременем легли заботы о семье. Отец Тамико уже давно не может найти себе работу, старшая сестра безнадёжно больна — вряд ли ей удасться поняться на ноги. Чтобы прокормить родных, Томико с утра до поздней ночи бегает по городу и продаёт цветы… Вторая новелла (реж. Тадаси Имаи) тоже рисует быт бедняков. Незнакомая девушка принесла молодому Кавано письмо от его матери. Оказывается, девушку зовут Кунико, она очень трудолюбивая, но семья её умирает от голода. Поэтому мать решила отправить Кунико к сыну, чтобы тот женился на ней. Новелла так и называется «Неожиданная невеста». Особый интерес представляет третья новелла, которая дала название всему фильму: «Когда любишь» (реж. Сацуо Ямамото). Здесь показана семья молодого борца за мир.
