A very worth seeing Japanese drama

Once more, I am very sad and pleased at the same time to see that no one has commented this film yet. Sad, because that means no one has seen it. Such a shame. I expected at least from Japan, not Poland...

And glad, because I am proud to speak of this very poignant, tense and wonderful piece of work, which I suppose only Japanese movie industry may give us. At least dramas speaking about WW2. The terrifying war that gave so many wounds, wounds which will never heal, I am afraid of that. Russian films are not so good, they don't reach such a peak of quality. But that's my own opinion.

Speaking of this movie, we watch here a large group of young girls, near the end of the war, who are taught in secret to resist, fight against the American invaders to come. But when the war really ends, the authorities, army officers, decide not to tell anything to the girls...

I won't tell you anymore, I don't want to spoil such a terrific story that grabs you, and will stay for a long time inside of your memory.

Go and watch it.
