Shimizu Toyomatsu (played by Masahiro Nakai) was leading a simple but happy life with his wife, Hōka (played by Yuki Nakaima), and their son, Kenichi (played by Tsubasa Katō). When the war broke out, Toyomatsu was drafted, and the life-and-death struggles on the battlefield cast a deep shadow over his soul. As a low-ranking soldier, he could only unconditionally execute the cruel orders from his superiors. Toyomatsu was fortunate to be a survivor of the war, returning to his family, ready to welcome the new life soon to be born from his wife. Just then, a lawsuit turned Toyomatsu into a war criminal, facing severe punishment. Unwilling to accept his fate, Toyomatsu decided to petition for a reduced sentence, and at the same time, Hōka, with their son and newborn daughter, began a life of running around for her husband’s sake. Will Toyomatsu's petition be recognized? What fate awaits him?
