私の知らない子どもたち

暫無暫無暫無尚無足夠評分

Kotoko, a 12-year-old girl who lost her family and her everyday life to the war, chooses to hide her gender and live as a boy in order to survive. Amid the spread of comfort stations catering to the occupying forces and street prostitution, this was a decision made to escape a reality where simply being a girl was dangerous. Kotoko’s life, which had been peaceful under the care of her musician father, was completely transformed by the war and Japan’s defeat, forcing her to make the harsh choice of “giving up her true self.” Meanwhile, Sone, a teacher at the school where Kotoko had once been evacuated, had been complicit in militaristic education during the war. However, with Japan’s defeat, he lost both his convictions and his position, and was forced to live while confronting the responsibilities of his past.
