One night in 1942, the Australian and British soldiers stationed in the Republic of Singapore were holding a grand ball. Everyone danced to the beautiful music and sat together and chatted leisurely. At this moment, a loud bang of a cannonball broke the noisy atmosphere, and suddenly there was silence, and the war was coming!
The Australian captain immediately issued an emergency order, all the women and children were withdrawn, and the soldiers were ready to fight. After a hasty farewell, the women and children boarded the big boat home. The boat was sailing carefully on the sea, and the people on the boat did not realize the seriousness of the situation until the Japanese fighter jets suddenly appeared in the sky and bombarded them violently, forcing them to abandon the boat and jump into the water to find a way out.
The night passed, and some survivors came to a small island after a night of wandering. The Japanese army on the island took them to a concentration camp. There were many women and children in the concentration camp. They came from different countries, but suffered the same fate.
In the concentration camps they endured inhuman treatment: the conditions in the camps were poor, and many people contracted diseases such as malaria. One day, an old lady fell ill and her life was dying. In order to treat the old man, a female prisoner named Wei Ying took the risk of exchanging her belongings with the outsiders beside the iron wire fence of the concentration camp when the Japanese army's defense was lowered in the middle of the night. Some drugs were found and burned alive by the Japanese army. The Japanese army did not provide them with sufficient daily necessities, and once the female prisoners fought over a small piece of soap while bathing. Here women and children often starve and work like slaves, cut off from all contact with the outside world. All this makes people very hopeless about life and hopeless for the future, and many people die in despair.
Adriana, an Englishman trained at the Royal College of Music , saw that people were gradually degenerating, and the idea of forming a chorus was born in her heart. With her efforts, they sang a lot of naive classical songs, boring for them The joy of life has been added, the self-worth has been found, and the almost hopeless prisoners have longed for life.
In 1945, the war was over, the Japanese army withdrew from the concentration camp, and the female prisoners regained their freedom. They hugged and cheered, and under the command of Adeliya, they hummed a beautiful and beautiful melody again.
