Plot
Japan in the painful aftermath of World War II. The film centres on 15-year-old Yasuo and the adults around him as they go through their usual routines during this unusual time. Yasuo feels guilty for surviving when so many of his classmates were killed. He witnessed the death of his best friend during the bombing and the memory of it tortures him. The others, too, have their own crosses to bear. Meanwhile, a poor widow and a wounded soldier meet surreptitiously, a beautiful wife bids farewell to her first lover, and a maidservant marries a veteran who has returned home without his leg. So many lives, so many loves... Yasuo is gradually losing control of himself...
