有些記憶，一輩子都放不下。
切明千枝子十五歲時經歷廣島原爆，親手火化了一位被燒死的同學。將近百歲的她，八十年來從未停止發聲。她談的不僅是自身的傷痛，還有廣島作為軍事城市的歷史共業。
本片跟拍她的日常生活，從她的生命軌跡，叩問記憶與和平的真實意涵。
Kiriake Chieko is Hiroshima’s oldest atomic-bomb survivor who continues to give public testimony. She was 15 years old when she was exposed to the atomic bombing 80 years ago. In the immediate aftermath, she cremated the body of a younger schoolmate who had died from severe burns.
Beyond recounting this traumatic experience, Kiriake is also a rare voice who speaks openly about Hiroshima’s role as a military city during the war, addressing not only its victimhood but also its complicity.
At a time when conflicts continue around the world and fears about the use of nuclear weapons persist, Kiriake — now in her late nineties — continues to share a message of peace with the world despite the physical toll of age.
This documentary does not focus solely on Kiriake’s experience of the atomic bombing but follows her daily life in order to understand her as a human being: what she has thought, how she has lived, and how memory continues to shape her life.
Through the life story of this one woman, the documentary offers reflections on what truly matters to us today.
