Okinawan war orphans who lost their parents in the brutal ground battle and were taken in by the US military. However, after the war, orphanages were closed one after another, and they were forced into a life of hardship, being taken in by families looking for workers. Some are now in their 80s and still don't know their real names and continue to search for their origins. Some continue to search for their long-lost sisters and brothers. Some suffer from PTSD, tormented by their harsh lives. This film depicts the postwar lives of orphans, who were barely covered by the media, and for whom the government did not conduct any investigations or support even after reversion.
