The film is set in Japan during World War II. Like the previous Japanese animation films, it adopts a peaceful and fresh tone. Even if a bomb explodes in the sky, it is painted in oil. Ling is the protagonist of this film, gentle and kind, but always a little confused, always likes to be in a daze, and then draw what she sees and thinks. In Japan in 1944, the life of the common people was not easy. On the day when Ling was 19 years old, Zhou Zuo from Wu City came to his house to propose a marriage. At that time, Ling liked Suwon, who was in the same class. Married in the past, it can be seen that at that time, the daughter's marriage was still based on the parents' life. After marrying into her husband's family, she had to undertake all the housework. Her father-in-law said to her mother-in-law, "Daughter-in-law has entered the door, and you can rest well." When it doesn't light up, get up and fetch water and cook rice. I believe that in reality, women had to work a lot harder in those days. The animation beautifies the reality. Later, I found Zhou Zuo's sister's hat and skirt through the bell to form a sharp contrast. The most attractive thing in the film should be the living habits of the local people. During the war years, the food supply was insufficient, so Ling had to change the tricks to cook for the family. The wild vegetables on the mountain have also become good things. The only question is what to eat to be full, whether it will hurt, who is in conflict with whom, etc. The only time the whole family laughs happily in the film is after the gendarmerie mistakenly believes that Ling is a spy, but the whole family thinks that someone as confused as Ling can still be misunderstood, which leads to a life philosophy: laughter and laughter. Life is better, but in fact they are not doing well, often they don't have enough food to eat, and they only have one piece of clothing. Zhou Zuo’s older sister, Jingzi, is a very individual woman, who can represent the advanced thinking of women at that time. She finds her own job and her husband. She wears dresses and top hats before marriage, and goes to cafes and museums with her fiancé, even if her husband dies. Later, her mother-in-law wanted to move, she resolutely divorced and took her daughter back to her parents' home. At first, her attitude towards Ling was not friendly, and she disliked this sister-in-law for being confused, but then she began to treat this sister-in-law in her own way, and her daughter, Harumi, also liked this aunt who was a little nervous. But in a bombing, Harumi lost her life, Suzu lost her right hand, and continued to live with self-blame. Later, Jingzi forgave Ling and continued to treat her well in her own way. Ling finally integrated into this family and was willing to stay here. Zhou Zuo is a person who doesn't tell the truth. He fell in love with Ling at first sight when he was a child, and later he tried everything possible to find it. After marriage, they treated each other like a guest. When the bomb hit, he even protected Ling. behind. At the end of the film, Ling and Zhou Zuo returned to Hiroshima. On the bridge where they first met, they also met the strange uncle who was carrying a basket from childhood. Ling said: Thank you for finding me, in the corner of this world.
