Synopsis
In 1945, as World War II reaches its breaking point, Japan reels under relentless air raids and mounting pressure from U.S. forces. In Hiroshima, Gen Nakaoka is a headstrong, spirited boy trying to get by with his family amid severe shortages and the daily strain of wartime life. Despite the hardship, they cling to the hope that Japan’s defeat will bring an end to the suffering—and that their city might be spared.
That fragile optimism is shadowed by an approaching disaster they cannot foresee: the deployment of “Little Boy,” the atomic bomb that will unleash unprecedented destruction and leave a lasting mark on Japan and its people.
