What happens

«Дети смешанной крови» яп. 混血児: конкэтудзи, англ. Mixed-Blood Children — японский чёрно-белый фильм-драма 1953 года, постановщиком которого выступил один из видных представителей независимого кинематографа Хидэо Сэкигава. Эта кинолента, затрагивающая очень болезненную для послевоенной Японии сферу — судьбу детей, родившихся от японской матери и американского солдата, — снята по произведению Сэцуко Такасаки.
