Synopsis:
Set against the backdrop of wartime Japan in Kōchi Prefecture, this story explores themes of prejudice and acceptance within a close-knit community. Eiko, a young girl with striking blue eyes inherited from her American father, arrives from Yokohama and immediately faces ostracism from her peers, fueled by wartime anxieties and ingrained perceptions of foreign soldiers. The atmosphere is one of quiet tension, where the echoes of loss and hardship shape daily interactions.
Amidst this environment, Kenta displays an unusual curiosity towards Eiko, offering a glimmer of potential understanding. The narrative unfolds as the village grapples with the return of a wounded veteran and increasingly grim news from the front lines, forcing the children to confront the complexities of war and challenge their preconceived notions about those perceived as different. The anime offers a nuanced portrayal of childhood dynamics in a time of national upheaval.
