Seaside Cinema

The only movie theater on the beach in Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, was closed. On the stormy closing night, Japanese war movie specials were shown all night long. Three young people who came to watch the movie were surrounded by lightning that suddenly struck the theater, and time traveled into the world of the movie. The Edo period, the chaotic times of the Bakumatsu, the Boshin War, the Pacific War... the three gradually found themselves visiting the world of war movies on the screen. With the changes in war history, film technology has also developed from black and white silent films to sound films and color films. The stage shifts to Hiroshima on the eve of the atomic bombing. Can the three young people save the mobile theater troupe they encountered and change their destiny?
