Sunflower blossoms turn to face the sun. Evoking these flowers in its name, a home for war orphans called Koyoryo was established in Nagasaki after the city was devastated by the atomic bomb. The orphanage director Mochida Chiyo kept extensive notes on her educational programs. Where the orphans were tainted by theft and violence, Chiyo bathed with them and poured herself into teaching them independence. In time, the children came to cherish her as their "Mother." Having matured, they left the home and took jobs, but what awaited them was bias and discrimination. Now, 60 years later, the former residents reunite. We examine the fates of these orphans from the wasteland of war.
