★ 國際首映 International Premiere

1945年太平洋戰爭末期，美軍為奪取飛行場，登陸沖繩伊江島，島上戰況激烈、滿目瘡痍。來自日本本島的中尉與沖繩的新兵被迫藏身於一棵巨大榕樹上，與世隔絕。兩人性格南轅北轍：一人是背負國家意志的戰場老兵，另一人則是從未離開故鄉的年輕士兵，面對死亡與飢餓，他們只能在絕望的孤戰中，相依為命。然而，隨著時間過去，藏身樹上的他們似乎並未察覺外面世界的變化……。

改編自沖繩導演平良和宏的舞臺劇，劇本構想來自已故劇作家井上廈的遺稿，全片於沖繩實地拍攝，由堤真一和山田裕貴領銜主演。在終戰80年紀念之際，本片映照出日本戰後社會長期壓抑的歷史創傷，透過一段真實改編的生存故事，不僅描繪了戰爭的荒謬與人性的韌性，更讓觀眾重新面對戰後沖繩的集體記憶與歷史責任。這不僅是兩名士兵生死交關的戰爭，更是對戰後日本國族意識與軍國殘影的深刻提問。
