After the Japanese surrender to the U.S., ending World War II, the residents of a small fishing village feel great humility in the wake of the defeat. But some of the children -- Ryuta (Takaya Yamauchi) and Saburo (Yoshiyuki Omori) in particular -- react with anger and confusion. Their uncertainty about the future is magnified when U.S. troops occupy the area and treat the villagers with kindness, adhering to Gen. MacArthur's proclamation. Tensions ease, but profound complications still linger.
