Synopsis:
Years after the conflict's end, Chisato embarks on a somber journey back to her homeland from Manchuria. The landscape she traverses is marked by lingering scars of war and shifting societal norms. A quiet determination underlies her steps as she navigates unfamiliar territories and encounters individuals grappling with the aftermath of widespread upheaval. The narrative focuses on Chisato's internal reflections – memories of loss, observations of changing cultures, and a search for belonging in a world struggling to rebuild. The series unfolds at a measured pace, emphasizing atmosphere and character development over action, offering a contemplative exploration of displacement, identity, and the enduring human spirit amidst profound change. It presents a nuanced portrait of post-war life, less concerned with grand narratives and more attuned to the personal journeys within them.
