Factory sealed DVD. Beautiful, yet at times brutal and horrifying. This is the story of seita and his younger sister Setsuko, in the wrong place, and now cast adrift in a world that lacks not the care to shelter them, two children born at the wrong time, but simply the resources. As the empire of the sun crumbles upon itself and a rain of firebombs falls upon Japan, the final death march of a nation is echoed in millions of smaller tragedies.
Forced to fend for themselves in the aftermath of fires that swept entire cities from the face of the earth, their doomed struggle is both a tribute to the human spirit and the stuff of nightmares.
