Synopsis

Historical drama. In 1945, General MacArthur appoints General Bonner Fellers, an expert in Japanese culture, to head the investigation into whether Emperor Hirohito is guilty of war crimes. Feller’s expertise comes in part from a pre-war relationship with a Japanese woman named Aya who disappeared during the war and he carries out a desperate search for her.
