Raiyantsuuri no Uta

Young Tomoko lives with her uncle in Hokkaido, unable to speak after traumatic wartime experiences in China. One day, a Chinese lullaby she remembers her mother singing draws her into the forest, where she encounters a man living far from other people.

He is a Chinese laborer who escaped a mine after being forcibly brought to Japan. Though separated by language and circumstance, both carry wounds left by war. Their meeting creates an unexpected bond, offering trust and companionship within lives marked by fear and isolation.
