Synopsis
Tamura est un soldat stationné sur l’île de Leyte (Philippines) vers la fin de la guerre. Présentant des signes de tuberculose, il est rejeté à la fois par son unité et par l’hôpital le plus proche qui n’a plus de place pour lui. Errant sans but précis sur l’île, il ne peut que constater, affaibli et quasi impuissant, la déliquescence dantesque des troupes impériales, dévorées par l’ennemi impitoyable et lourdement armé, la faim et la folie.Actors
