English title: Dirty Hearts.
After the end of World War II, the Japanese community in Brazil is torn over issues of loyalty. Isolated from the world at large by the very laws of the country, and suspicious of the little information that arrives to them, many believe that Japan won the war.
The screenplay leaves some questions unanswered, apparently; on the other hand, it may be that there is no completely rational explanation for the behavior which the film tries to depict. The narrative is solemn and static; the scoring is excessive. The use of out-of-focus cinematography in some takes is unaccountable. Overall, not a satisfying film.
