Plot: A Japanese boy of 14 and his 4 year old sister, attempt to find refuge from the atrocities of World War II in the small city of Kobe. In post-World War II Japan, a janitor finds beside a deathly ill boy a metal candy container. The janitor unwittingly tosses the possession into the night, beginning a most unusual tale of survival amid war. Brother and sister Seita and Setsuko, ages 14 and 4, respectively, flee their disheveled home and deceased parents to make their bid for a new life. Before American troops begin to occupy their country, the children resort to dwelling in an abandoned bomb shelter in the countryside. Though these siblings later get a sense of safety, they realize necessities such as food and water will not be easy to come by.
