In the hotel in the summer of 1957, a man and woman of completely different skin colors hugged tightly on the bed, and on their bodies, the close-up dewdrops sometimes resembled terrifying atomic dust.
This is a short-lived romance that takes place in a foreign country. The woman is an actress from France who met and fell in love with a Japanese construction engineer while she was filming in Hiroshima, Japan. However, at this time, one of them was a married woman, and the other was a married man.
The woman's filming is over, she's leaving Hiroshima, sixteen hours to go, they hug each other ecstatically, the man tries to persuade the woman to stay here, the music from the distance accompanies their almost suffocating passion. They chanted these two sentences alternately: Man: You didn't see anything in Hiroshima... You didn't see anything. Woman: I've seen it all, I've seen it all. The horrific sight of Hiroshima, where the atomic bomb exploded, seemed to appear in front of them again. In a trance, the woman involuntarily recalled her experience of falling in love with a German soldier on the eve of the end of World War II. She couldn't seem to tell whether the man in front of her was a Japanese youth or a German lover. She subconsciously identified them as one.
Soon, it was dawn, and they parted reluctantly. In the afternoon at Peace Square, the French woman fell asleep in the shadow of the stands. The Japanese man came, his stare woke her up, he took her home... The man asked the woman if she had loved someone, the woman said yes, in the war years, Nevel... he died. As night fell, they came to a café, and the woman told him her story.
Fourteen years ago, the small town of Nevers, where she lived, was occupied by the Germans. However, she falls in love with a German soldier. Their romance cannot be allowed, and they can only meet in ruins. Just as they were about to escape from France and get married in Bavaria, his German lover was shot and killed by French resistance fighters. Neville was freed, maddened by the horrific memory. She was imprisoned in a cellar as a German traitor and paraded through the streets with her hair shaved. "Maybe we'll never meet again." She decided to break up with the man. After returning to the hotel, she felt restless and lonely, and went to the coffee shop where she had just broken up that night. Men show up and ask her to stay in Hiroshima. Under the torment and suffering of love, her heart clashed fiercely. They walked aimlessly in the streets and alleys, and unknowingly came to the hotel where she was staying. They stood face to face in agony. "I'm going to forget you, I've forgotten you!" she said sadly. He held the woman's waist, and the two looked at each other affectionately, shouting from their hearts: "Hiroshima!" "Never!" In their hearts, "Hiroshima!" "Never!" city. Through them, Hiroshima fell in love with Nevel. ——From Sogou Encyclopedia
