When the Hiroshima atomic bomb exploded, Yasuko was on a boat to see her uncle Shigematsu, and "Black Rain" was drenched in the Seto Inland Sea. Later, Shigematsu and his wife took Yasuko and Shigematsu's mother, Akin, back to their hometown - a small island in Fukuyama City. The people in the village were injured by the atomic bomb to varying degrees. Shigematsu sold his ancestral land and started carp farming with his childhood friend. Because it is said that eating carp is very effective in treating the aftermath of the atomic bomb. The villagers have their own troubles. The Okazaki family runs a small grocery store with a son, Yuichi, who goes mad when he hears the sound of a bus engine. The Chimoto family let their children work as bartenders and secretly did black work. And what Shigematsu is worried about is not his own physical condition, but Yasuko's marital problems. The person who proposed the marriage shrank back when she heard that she had seen "Shine". In order to relieve everyone's doubts, Shigematsu re-copied Yasuko's diary, trying to prove that she was only drenched in Black Rain, and did not directly see the "flash" - the atomic bomb explosion. Soon, Shigematsu's friends died one after another, and his wife also suffered from schizophrenia. Yasuko had no choice but to pin her heart on Yuichi, who was as motionless as a stone sculpture when she didn't hear the sound of the engine, but soon she also began to lose her hair

1. Compared with his many films in the vicinity of the nuclear explosion, it is bold and rare for Imamura to look directly at the tragedy in a naked and all-round way. 2. Should the damage caused by Japanese militarism to the people of the country should also be paid for internal war compensation? 3. The nation pays for the sins of the people.

3.5. 11th BJIFF Archives Hall 1. 1. The reason why the film is made in black and white is because it absorbs the opinions of Mr. Ibushi (original author). Although Mr. Ibushi did not directly ask for the film to be made in black and white, from time to time he could feel from his words that he was opposed to using realistic colors to reproduce the tragic scene after the atomic bomb. 2. The Japanese director of the same period can't get around to a source, and it is not comparable to Ozu's theme of marrying a daughter. Imamura Shohei still shoots the most ordinary human nature of the common people, but it lacks sharp, direct and even disgusting scenes. You can't accept a person exposed to harm even without nuclear radiation. 3. A lot of hair loss is really scary. 4. The soundtrack is Toru Takemitsu.

Shigematsu Shizuma: "An unjust peace is better than a just war." It's important to note that this is said cynically.
