Go Shibata took his inspiration for this unusual experimental film from a visit he made to the Atom-bomb Museum in Nagasaki. In the guest-book he read the comment of a schoolboy who alleged that he could have endured the bomb. In his film he follows Leiichi, a man who heard the sound of the atom bomb as a child and 55 years later still has to live with it as an obsessed sound artist. A nightmare in sound.
