Synopsis

War drives Tetsuo from his home in Okinawa, but friendship with Norio and Hanako brings some happiness to his displacement. When air raids claim their lives, he takes refuge alone in a cave near the shore.

A sea turtle laying her eggs recalls something the friends had promised to watch together. Tetsuo carries the eggs to shelter and tries to keep them safe until they hatch, protecting a fragile future amid the destruction.
