作品画像：太平洋戦争終結直後、味方によって置き去りにされインドシナに残された元日本兵の柿沢健十はラオスで抗仏戦に参加したが、フランス軍による激しい拷問により記憶を失った。ラオスのサバナケットにたどり着いたが、言葉を話せず日本人であることもすっかり忘れていた。支援者の運動によって1977年3月、帰国を果たす

Kakizawa Kenju, a former Japanese soldier who was left behind in Indochina after the end of World War II in the Pacific, joined the Anti-French Resistance but was so severely tortured by the French that he lost his memory. He made his way to Sabanket in Laos but was unable to speak and had completely forgotten his Japanese identity. Thanks to a campaign by his supporters, he returned to Japan in March, 1977
