April, 1945. One Japanese soldier lost his life in the embattled Marshall Islands. The cause  was hunger. He had been cut off from the supply line. The diary he had kept until a few hours before his death, along with his last words, were brought back to his family after the war, by his fellow soldier who had miraculously survived.

​

April, 2016. His son has turned 74. He goes on a trip to visit where his father spent last moments of his life. With him are his three of his younger friends, who have lived on the Marshall Islands before.

​

Islanders who still live next to the remains of the war; Japanese words that are still spoken mixed with the Marshall language. Memories we have long tried to bury come forth and pose many questions to us. (translated by Ryuta）
