Shingetsu

Synopsis

A man and woman meet, thrown together by chance - or fate. Slowly, painfully, they discover they survived the same battlefield - from opposite ends of experience.
The sun rises, the moon sets.
Can the terrible damage of war can be healed?
"The enlightened soul
Like the moon
Casts its light on all." (Chinese poem, anonymous)
