Synopsis:

This anime series centers on a poignant project undertaken by NHK to translate the deeply personal testimonies of atomic bomb survivors into animated narratives. Drawing from over two thousand submitted accounts gathered through their annual recitation program, the work aims to preserve and share individual experiences of trauma and resilience. The animation presents fragmented memories and emotional landscapes inspired by these firsthand accounts, fostering a contemplative atmosphere. It explores themes of memory, loss, and the enduring impact of historical events on personal lives. Rather than focusing on action or fantastical elements, the series prioritizes a respectful and intimate portrayal of human experience, offering viewers a space for reflection on a difficult past and its lasting consequences.
