The Prisoner of Sakura (2019)

With all the unrest and uncertainty in the world today, now feels as good a time as any for a movie portraying good will and love between people from opposing countries. The film is a love story set in the city of Matsuyama in Ehime Prefecture on the Japanese island of Shikoku against the historical backdrop of the Russo-Japanese War. The movie is centered around the romance between a Russian officer, a war prisoner in Matsuyama, and a Japanese nurse who find themselves on opposing sides of the war. It is a kind of "Romeo and Juliet story of the Russo-Japanese War". The movie is a Japanese/Russian co-production and also features Russian actors. The Russian prisoner of war is played by Rodion Galyuchenko, while the Japanese nurse is played by Abe Junko. (Source: IMDb) Edit Translation
