This is the film adaptation of the unique literary work "Cloud Grave Marker" by war writer Hiroyuki Agawa, and is directed by Masanao Horiuchi.

The main cast includes Takahiro Tamura, Masami Taura, Fumio Watanabe, Keiko Kishi, Hideko Takamine, Minoru Ohki, Yuji Kawakita, and Eiichi Sugasahara. The film became a topic of conversation for its sincere depiction of the feelings of three student soldiers, including Takahiro Tamura, Masami Taura, and Fumio Watanabe, who abandon their school to join the Navy Special Attack Force. --In 1943, Jiro Yoshino (Takahiro Tamura), Akira Fujikura (Masami Taura), and Tetsuo Sakai (Fumio Watanabe), all alumni from high school to university, joined the Otake Marine Corps as student soldiers, and the following year, after being accepted as reserve students, were assigned to the Koura Naval Air Corps. They underwent basic training under the guidance of Captain Yamada ( Yuji Kawakita ). He was eventually assigned to the Demizu Air Force in Kyushu, where he continued to live in close contact with death. On his way out, Yoshino meets Fukiko ( Keiko Kishi ), the daughter of the Fukai family, who happens to show him her garden. While Sakai tries to reassure her sister ( Takamine Hideko ) by showing her that she can relax, the war situation becomes tense and Saipan is crushed. Captain Mitamura ( Eiichi Sugasahara ) laments the crisis of the war situation. The reserve students also know that they are about to face death, and each of them disposes of their mementos. Soon after he is commissioned as a lieutenant, all of them are organized into a suicide squadron and transferred back to Izumi. Fujikura is disturbed when his senior lieutenant Aizawa ( Tatsuro Nagai ), a military doctor, suggests that he can apply for a medical exemption from flying because of his high blood pressure. Yoshino is reunited with Fukiko and embraces her with a burning desire for life. But the day of the sortie finally arrives, and Sakai is the first to take off. Fujikura and Yoshino return to their rooms after hearing the last transmission from Sakai, and are ordered to go out as well. The two men, who had regained their composure, exchanged a last drink, and disappeared beyond the clouds with Nagano's aircraft in the lead.
