A Roman Catholic nun and a hard-bitten US Marine are stranded together on a Japanese-occupied island in the South Pacific during World War II. Under constant threat of discovery by a ruthless enemy, they hide in a cave and forage for food together. Their forced companionship and the struggle for survival forge a powerful emotional bond between them.

This is a great but underrated movie. Just because there aren't a lot of actors, the relationship between the two main characters is a wonderful thing to watch. It's too bad the other actors of note are not listed, such as I. Miynai, S. Nakagawa, Akiro Ohno and Masao Ukon. It's worth watching.
