Storyboard Tekst
- The Story is set during the period of The Second World War.Set,in Japan,the story begins with Dr Sadao, a Japanese Doctor educated in America.Whilegazing out of his secluded property,he sees a strange shape crawlingout from the ocean.When he sees that it is a man, Sadao and his wife Hanarush out to help the man,who they realize has been wounded by a bullet.From the man's uniform,they are able to make out that the man is an Americansolider.
- The couple deduce that the man is a prisoner of war who managed to escapeauthorities .Sahao, a famously skilled surgeon ,can't help but cover the wound with mossto stop the bleeding,even while proclaiming his hatred for AmericansSadao and Hana can’t bear to turn the man over to theauthorities asthey will surely kill him, but they can’t leave him stranded out at sea either.
- The General is fiercely loyal to Sadao, believing him to be the best doctor in Japan. Because of this bond the men share, Sadao confides in him about Tom. Like Sadao and Hana, the General also attended college in the United States, so he understands Sadao’s impulse to help the American even though he is an enemy. The General is mostly concerned that Sadao will be sentenced to death and thus be unable to operate on the General in the future.
- They know that bringing the man into their house is illegal and dangerous, an act that could deem them traitors and lead to their own arrests. After much deliberation, the couple decides to bring the wounded American into their home despite the risks.After properly examining the man, Sadao decides that he’s surely going to die unless he undergoes surgery immediately.
- The surgery is messy, and Hana is forced to act as her husband’s assistant.The surgery is a success, and over the course of several days, the boy—who introduces himself as Tom—improves dramatically. He’s warm and grateful, showering the surgeon and his wife with praise for saving his life. Sadao and Hana always respond coldly, implying that they’re still going to turn him over to the authorities.
- The General comes up with a plan: he will send his private assassins to Sadao’s house sometime in the next week. Sadao is to leave the door to Tom’s room unlocked; in the middle of the night the assassins will silently kill the white man and dispose of the body, lifting the burden from Sadao’s shoulders.
- several days pass, and the assassins never show up. Tired of waiting, Sadao sends Tom to a nearby island in the middle of the night, where he is bound to be picked up by a Korean fishing boat. He tells Tom to flash his flashlight at dusk if he runs out of food before being picked up.A few days later, Sadao tells the General that Tom has escaped. The General guiltily realizes that he forgot to send the assassins in the first place—he had been so wrapped up in his own fragile health that he forgot to help Sadao. The General hastily makes sure that Sadao doesn’t think him any less patriotic or dutiful for forgetting to have the white man killed. The two men both promise to keep quiet about the whole situation.
