Drawing from Japanese folklore, this movie follows the adventures of the iconic 'Peach Boy' character. Set against the backdrop of a daring military operation on Sulawesi island, the film showcases the heroic actions of parachute troops. Reflecting Japan's vision of 'liberating Asia', as endorsed by the Government, the narrative unfolds with poignant musical interludes. Particularly striking is The Song of AIUEO (アイウエオの歌, AIUEO no Uta), featuring Japanese soldiers imparting language to local animals.
