action
The French engineer Pierre Marsac has been living in Nagasaki for some time . There he falls in love with the Japanese Noriko Sakurai. When the German teacher Ritter, who has lived in Japan since the war and is married to a Japanese woman, offers him a room in his house out of Central European hospitality, Marsac is happy to be able to leave the unloved hotel. Suddenly his former lover, the journalist Françoise Fabre, who has work to do in the Japanese metropolis, because she is working on a report about Japan for a book. They arrange to meet in a bar next to the hotel where Françoise stayed. Pierre, who obviously still has great feelings for Françoise, was left quite charmingly by his ex-girlfriend two years earlier, so he is in conflict with his feelings for Françoise. Françoise, on the other hand, calculates how far her magic still catches on Pierre. This is how an emotional game of cat and mouse begins between the two of them. They go dancing together and, at Françoise's request, Pierre also shows the city around, although he is actually very busy as an engineer. Pierre also complies with the request to get to know his new girlfriend. The journalist gets to know Japanese cuisine while eating together. Then you go to the theater together. Noriko meets Françoise without prejudice, while the French woman is seething with jealousy when she realizes that Pierre really likes the girl. In addition, he has just signed a contract that ties him to the Nagasaki shipyard for two more years. While Ritter looks at Pierre's ex-girlfriend with hawk eyes and does everything to make the French feel comfortable in Japan. The next day, Françoise visits Noriko's kimono shop to choose a present from Noriko. A few minor tremors in the shop disturb her, while Noriko traditionally remains relaxed. Françoise telephones Pierre to tell him about the earthquake, when she learns of Pierre's departure for two days to Osaka , she rules defiantly and says that she will probably leave Nagasiki for Tokyo and then fly home to Paris , Pierre is concerned about These news.
When Pierre Marsac boarded the train to Osaka in the evening to speed up an order for the shipyard, he said goodbye to Noriko, when he wanted to kiss her goodbye, she was reluctant because two friends saw her and it was not his best to be in public To show feelings. On the train, Pierre is amazed but delighted to meet Françoise, who admits that she wants to see him again. You kiss and continue the journey to Osaka together. When Noriko found out about the tete a tete of the two from friends in Nagasaki, she was dejected. Meanwhile, Pierre and Françoise are having fun in Osaka. Pierre sends Noriko a telegram in which he reports that he will probably not be able to attend Noriko's girlfriend's wedding party because his stay will be extended due to company annoyance. When Noriko receives the telegram, she is deadly sad. Pierre Marsac barely makes it back to Nagasaki to give the wedding couple on the quay a present before the ship departs. Noriko, who said goodbye to her friend, is there too and runs away from Pierre. Pierre who doesn't understand her reaction follows her and confronts her. Noriko says she never wants to see Pierre again and leaves. Confused Pierre is informed by Ritter, who also said goodbye to the bride and groom on the quay, that Noriko knows that Françoise and himself are staying in Osaka and that it is pointless. Pierre tries to explain that Françoise is Françoise and Noriko Noriko seems a little helpless and not very convincing. When Noriko presented Françoise with the kimono she had received as a farewell, she said she had separated from Pierre. Françoise says in a triumphant, jovial tone that she is still young, that another man will be found for her. Noriko replies that love is not a game for Japanese women as it is for Europeans, then she leaves and is angry. Françoise, surprised by the words, has another scotch in the hotel bar and is informed by the bartender that a typhoon is likely to move from Manila to Nagasaki. When Pierre appears in the hotel bar, the journalist says that she definitely wants to stay two more days, she has not yet experienced a typhoon. While the German knight comforts Noriko and says whether she has a bad image of all Europeans, Noriko replies that he is probably an exception. Meanwhile, Ritter is not pleased to see how his flowers in the garden are suffering from the heavy rain. Apparently the typhoon is already heralded by heavy rains.
Pierre Marsac was informed of the arrival of the typhoon in his office the next day. The storm was already picking up speed when Françoise suddenly appears at the factory gate. Pierre doesn't want to let the journalist go back to the hotel on her own because the way there is life-threatening, the wind has already reached hurricane strength and is whirling loose objects and debris through the streets. Pierre wants to drive the French woman back to the hotel, but the car goes on strike and you are forced to look for shelter, but you are not safe there either and you move on with a group of people until you have found a permanent house as a shelter What already resembles an asylum for the poor, new people seeking protection and injured people keep arriving. Pierre, who is more and more concerned about Noriko, wants to see the Japanese girl. Françoise pleads not to do it because going into the storm is life-threatening, she begs and threatens to leave him if he goes now. It does not help. The engineer leaves the French woman behind with the words that things would not have gone well with the two of them anyway and through the typhoon finally makes his way to Noriko's kimono shop, contrary to expectations, he is still somewhat healthy. Noriko is surprised to see Pierre overjoyed. Everything is fine for a short moment, but then the front of the shop is more heavily damaged by the storm and when trying to seal the front, the storm rages and the Japanese is hit hard by flying debris. The next morning the storm is over and the troubled city starts cleaning up. In the crowd, Françoise sees the German knight, who rushes towards her, crying to bring her the sad news that Pierre is safe but Noriko has died. Disillusioned that Pierre did not come himself, the French woman turns away. she knows she has lost Pierre. In the meanwhile, in long-suffering Nagasaki, people are starting to rebuild their city.

Reviews
"Conventionally staged love drama that only deserves interest because of the excellent documentary recordings of the city of Nagasaki, which was devastated by the second atomic bomb, as well as the excellent dramaturgically prepared storm."
