Synopsis :
In this Japanese semi-documentary, a teacher and her ex-students offer their view of the horrible aftermath of the A-bomb in their city. The film was designed to generate sympathy from the American people responsible for the devastation. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
Otowa is the teacher who returns to his ome in Hirlshima only to find a city which has barely begun to heal from the consequences of the atomic bomb.As he gets in touch with some people he had thought lost.We see the devastation infilcted on not only Hiroshima's people and buildings but also on the Japanese psyche.Its story told with compassion and subtle use of flashbacks,Shindo's film is a haunting look at something many would rather forget or gloss over as necessary act of evil during a terible war.MW
