Abstract

Red Angel contrasts man-made horrors with a woman's empathy and compassion during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945). Sakura Nishi (Ayako Wakao) is a nurse working at a remote Japanese hospital, treating wounded soldiers. As Sakura does what little she can to comfort men with wounds often too severe for the under-staffed hospital to handle, she begins to fall in love with one of the doctors, Okabe (Shinsuke Ashida). When Dr. Okabe decides to leave the hospital in order to treat soldiers still in battle, Sakura agrees to head into the fighting with him.
