Business Overview
While taking into account the differences in historical perceptions between Japan and other Asian countries, the two countries aim to create a roadmap for mutual evaluation. Through the interaction between contemporary Thai youth and the ghosts of Japanese soldiers, the film depicts life, death, and sorrow that everyone faces, explores the depths of the hearts of those who participated in the war, and highlights the relationship between the state and the individual. This work reaffirms the sad past and present situation and shows how people can communicate with each other regardless of nationality, language, cultural differences and barriers.
