When Shigeko Nomura, a young woman living in Hiroshima, survives her city’s destruction she must use every last ounce of energy to reach and rescue her parents.

Two actors, one British, one Japanese, enact the compelling stories of a brilliant Hungarian scientist, a daring American pilot and a devoted Japanese daughter, in this gripping, moving and thought-provoking drama about the ‘mistake’ that launched our nuclear age.
