Rhapsody in August

Kane (Sachiko Murase), an elderly Nagasaki hibakusha, spends a summer caring for her four grandchildren, whose curiosity about the 1945 bombing stirs buried memories and moral questions. When an American nephew from Hawaii visits, the family confronts grief, guilt, and the possibility of reconciliation across generations. As they navigate their complex relationships and confront the past, Kane's mental health and memory begin to falter, leading to a poignant and powerful exploration of loss, identity, and forgiveness.
