Barefoot Gen 2 (1986)

Hadashi no Gen 2 / はだしのゲン 2

Information

Description

Three years have passed since the bombing of Hiroshima and Gen is now a fourth-grader. Hiroshima is still a ruin, and Gen must scrounge for scrap metal to help keep himself and his remaining family fed, but at least commerce has returned to the land. As his mother gradually grows ill from radiation sickness, Gen and Ryuta befriend a group of orphans led by a tough-nosed older child and including a girl who still bears ugly burn scars from the day of the bomb. An old man suffering from depression is also drawn into the group as they come together to support each other and form a makeshift family. Reality is still harsh, however, as many orphans still die lonely deaths and the grim reminders of what happened linger everywhere.

Der Film spielt ein paar Jahre nach dem Atombombenabwurf über Hiroshima. Gen Nakaoka hatte diesen Abwurf mit seiner Mutter überlebt. Zusammen haben sie einen jungen Knaben namens Ryuuta adoptiert und eine neue Bleibe aufgebaut. Hiroshima selbst erholt sich langsam von der Katastrophe. Doch die ersten Menschen, die damals der Radioaktivität ausgesetzt waren, kommen ins Krankenhaus bzw. zum Arzt.

Gen selbst geht wieder zur Schule, auch wenn diese noch ziemlich kaputt ist. Danach versucht er mit Arbeit sich über die Runden zu halten. Doch das Leben auf der Straße ist rau und hart. Er lernt den jungen Enko kennen, der als Straßendieb eine Bande anführt. Gen schließt sich denen an und lernt dabei auch ein Mädchen Namens Katsuko kennen, die ein hartes Schicksal hinter sich hat, auch wenn sie damit nicht allein ist. Zusammen versuchen sie sich durchzuschlagen, um eine neue Bleibe zu errichten, um auch dauerhaft ans Essen zu kommen und werden auch noch erneut wieder mit dem Tod konfrontiert. Zu allem Überfluss erkrankt Gens Mutter nun an Krebs. Wird ihr hartes Leben dennoch ein ruhiges Ende finden?
