Japanese director Tomoko Kana met Liu-min, 27, in China. Her father died in 1995 in the accidental explosion of a bombshell left by the Japanese Imperial Army during WWII. The costs of his medical treatment left her heavily in debt when she was only a teenager. She and her brother had no choice but to drop out of school and go to work. Li Cheng, 59, fell victim to the poison gas of the Japanese army when he came into contact with a mysterious container while working on a dredge ship at the age of 29. Water blisters covered his body and his genitals and internal organs were damaged. He still suffers from serious after-effects. His wife has to make a living for the two of them. Living in extreme poverty, he has attempted suicide twice. On August 4, 2003, more poison gas was found in Qiqihar City, killing one person and injuring 43. Many still suffer from serious after-effects. Sixty years have passed since the end of the war between China and Japan. But weapons left by the Japanese remain unearthed in the fields of China. These leftovers of war still harm people in these peaceful times. This documentary allows them to speak out.
