1945年,美國在長崎投下原子彈,奪走醫學生浩二的年輕生命,浩二母親助產士伸子與未婚妻町子難以釋懷。三年後,母親在兒子墳前最後道別,返家後豈見浩二的靈魂歸來。到底生者如何放下喪親之痛,如何代替原爆受害者找到幸福?84歲的山田洋次承繼《東京小屋》(2014)的反戰意識,藉著二戰後70週年,再次寫下大時代小人物的悲哀,為長崎原爆受害者療傷止痛。坂本龍一的配樂讓導演一貫溫婉含蓄的情操增添一份揪心的傷感。
On August 9, 1945, midwife Nobuko lost her son Koji to the atomic bomb attack in Nagasaki. Three years later, Koji magically reappears at Nobuko’s home, giving the mother and son a chance to reminisce, catch up on lost time and discuss whether Koji’s loyal fiancée should finally move on with her life. A companion piece to playwright Hisashi Inoue’s Hiroshima-set The Face of Jizo, Japanese cinema legend Yamada Yoji’s 84th film is a moving supernatural drama that examines grief and survivor’s guilt in post-World War II Japan, anchored by the enthralling performances of its three leads and a mesmerizing score by Sakamoto Ryuichi.
