Plot/Outline
Review
In brief: extraordinarily sad movie about the fate of a pair of young Japanese boys orphaned towards the end of World War 2. Heartbreaking. If anybody ever tries to tell you that anime is "just cartoons", this is a very good counterexample. (Or you could go the hentai route, but that's not a good way to gain respect for the medium...)
