The
city of Kobe is in flames. The buildings are destroyed,
the shopping centers are transformed into an inferno.
Chaos is everywhere. Keita Onda, sixty years old, sees on
the television news of the earthquake that destroyed the
city in 1995. While he watches today's news, he remembers
another occasion in which he saw the city in flames: in
1945, during the war, on the island of Awaji, he
witnessed the site being destroyed by bombs.
