SINOPSIS

On August 6, 1945, at 8:15 a.m., the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. The image that has remained etched in the world's collective memory is the mushroom cloud rising over the city, but not the charred bodies beneath it, nor the hands struggling to save them. That other story was witnessed by Pedro Arrupe, a Basque Jesuit of universal stature. Eighty years after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, as the spectre of nuclear threat once again looms over the world, a university professor sets out on a journey to uncover the little-known story of Pedro Arrupe, the Basque Jesuit who survived the atomic blast and helped save more than 150 people. From the streets of Hiroshima to the Vatican archives, and back to his roots in the Basque Country, the documentary recovers the voices of survivors in order to preserve their words. Their testimonies become a catalyst for ethical reflection on peace and human rights, at a moment when their defence is more necessary than ever.
