Hadashi no Gen 2

In Hiroshima in 1948, the atomic bombing still shapes every part of Gen Nakaoka’s life with his mother and adopted brother Ryuta. The boys try to attend school while searching for food and money, even as their mother’s health declines from radiation sickness.

Among the ruins they befriend children who have lost their families and must survive without homes. Poverty, grief and exclusion test them all, making mutual support essential. Gen struggles to protect those he loves while holding onto the possibility of a future beyond the devastated city.
