World War II has just ended. In a ruin that was once a diner, a woman forced into sex work, a small boy and a soldier meet. While the world around them transitions from terror to dismay these three survivors, each carrying their own set of scars, are looking for safety. A chamber drama that segues into a road movie of sorts, the film explores a new reality: where the coming of age of the nation is anchored to the coming of a young boy.
