"In the Kingdom of Ashes and Sorrow" is a poignant story about war, love and a second chance.
The life of American pilot Miki was very simple: he fought for his country, followed the orders of his elders, dreamed of returning home.
His death was also simple. In the summer of 1945, his bomber crashed over Japanese soil.
But his soul remained wandering restlessly through the streets of the city over which he had recently scattered leaflets, urging the Japanese to evacuate. Cities where people, although exhausted by the war, continue to love and hope. Cities where a single mother Kiyomi and her daughter Ai live, observing whom he suddenly discovered new feelings in himself. Cities where residents are the same people as he is, suddenly make Miki doubt that his commanders were right.
Cities called Hiroshima.
