    A film full of grace

    Ostensibly this film is "about" the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshina, or rather about the making of a documentary on that subject. In reality, though hard to pin down, it is much more: light, graceful, poetic, it is full of gentle moments that prod you to reflection about memory, culture, identity. Watch this film : it will make you a better person.
