The Eternal Zero



Synopsis

Based on the best-selling novel “The Eternal Zero”, the film tells the story of Kyuzo Miyabe, a “Zero” Fighter pilot who died in a last minute Kamikaze mission in the final days of World War II.

Kentaro Saeki (Hauma Miura) has failed his bar exam again. Unsure of his way in life, he then learns at his grandmother’s funeral that his grandfather he thought of as a blood relative was none of the sort. His real grandfather, Kyuzo Miyabe (Junichi Okada), perished at the end of the World War II in a last minute Kamikaze mission.

Kentaro embarks on a search for the identity of his real grandfather. However, his visits to war veteran colleagues of his grandfather yield only the grim report that he was the biggest coward in the whole navy. It appears that despite being a matchless pilot, he was more focused o making it home than taking part in combat. When the dogfights developed, he opted to avoid getting caught up in them and flew away. His motivation turns out to have been the singular promise he made to his wife Matsuno (Mao Inoue) to return home to the family at any cost. The big mystery is then why such a man would volunteer for a Kamikaze mission? As Kentaro draws nearer to those who took part in the final events of Miyabe’s life, he learns just what drove the man. In this way, the message that Miyabe committed to with his life, is finally bequeathed to a new generation.

Down in the port city of Busan, Korea in the early 1980s is a tax attorney named SONG Woo-seok. His lack of connections, money, and a college degree forces him to take on all sorts of jobs other lawyers would shun, ranging from filing real estate registration forms to giving out legal advice on taxes. But an excellent eye for business and an appetite for money turn him into one of the most successful lawyers in town. He soon receives once in a lifetime recruiting offer from a major national corporation.

Just when his life is about to change, the owner of a small restaurant, who he is indebted to, urgently seeks his help for her son. He had been eating at her restaurant every single day for her kindness that she showed him over an unpaid bill back when he was studying for the bar exam seven years ago. Unable to ignore her desperate plea, he decides to at least help her get a visitation with her incarcerated son. But what await them at the prison's visitation room are the unexpected signs of brutality and torture they discover all over her son's body. Moreover, that he is been falsely accused by the dictatorial government. Stunned to utter disbelief, SONG decides to take on the case that no other lawyer would dare to.
