Film&Talk #2030
Japan, 1945: the country is on the brink of surrender. Every day, American planes drop bombs from the sky and set entire areas on fire. In the inferno of such an attack, fourteen-year-old Seita and four-year-old Setsuko lose their mother.

Without their father, who is in the navy and whom they have not heard from for a long time, the children are suddenly left to fend for themselves. Their aunt, with whom they initially stay, is anything but welcome to the additional hungry mouths in the prevailing famine. So the siblings move into an abandoned bunker and try to survive on their own.
Despite all the suffering, Seita does everything he can to give his little sister as carefree a childhood as possible and the two of them actually spend a few happy weeks together. But the terrible reality of the relentless war soon catches up with them.
