During the Second Sino-Japanese War, in 1940, Lieutenant Kurokawa returns home as a honored and decorated soldier... but deprived of his arms and legs lost in battle in mainland China. All hopes, from the village men and women to close family members, turn to Shigeko, the Lieutenant's wife: she must honor the Emperor and the country in setting an example for all by fulfilling her duty and taking care of the 'God soldier'.
A solid drama dealing with difficult themes such as war crimes and handicapped veterans. Recommended for those who's interested in gaining insight in how Japanese women were treated with unfair demands during wartimes.
A tough film about the damages of war.
