Rhapsody in August
1991/05/25 • Released • Japanese
Tears. Laughter. Innocence. It was a summer of remembering.
Overview
An elderly Nagasaki hibakusha spends a summer caring for her four grandchildren, whose curiosity about the 1945 bombing stirs buried memories and moral questions. When an American nephew from Hawaii visits, the family confronts grief, guilt, and the possibility of reconciliation across generations.
