story happened in Japan during the First World War. It's directed by the Japanese, many of the German soldiers in the film were not Germans, but Hungarians, Russians, Norwegians, Swedes, Americans, British and Canadian people. They did so well except something on the pronouncing.The German soldiers led a happy life after being transported to another prisoner-of-war camp. Matsue is in charge there. He is enlightened and glad to open to new things. He allowed the prisoners had their own newspaper and enjoyed their food like home. He found one who had escaped twice and returned back was a excellent baker. The baker adopted a German-Japan blood girl who's the daughter of one of his comrades in arms and he agreed to live in Japan as a baker. The chief knew how to win the trust of the prisoners and he showed them his kind heart.They of course put their faith in him. He refused to go to the prison by carriage every-day and he chose to ride a bicycle even thought he cannot turn around at the crossing and he had to get down and made a turning. He also let prisoners to teach pupils music, gym and so on. He did. When the budget was cut off, he tried all he could to ensure the supply. He brought his subordinates and the prisoners to the mountain to do logging and earned money. Matsue should have run a successful business if he were allowed as he had the ability to manage it.
This film is classified as history, but I don't know if it was a romance or based on a true story. It would be fine to let the Germans tell the story.
