Short filmTranscript
00:05The film begins by showing a man drifting alone in the middle of a vast ocean.
00:09He survives on a small life raft, surrounded by an endless stretch of deep blue water.
00:14The man is named Alisson, a marine from the United States Navy.
00:18The submarine where he served had been attacked by enemy forces during the Pacific War,
00:22and he was the only one who managed to survive.
00:24For seven full days, he struggled to stay alive at sea with no food or strength left,
00:29relying solely on rainwater he managed to collect to keep himself alive.
00:34Exhaustion and loneliness nearly pushed him to despair,
00:36until one morning he saw the faint outline of land on the horizon.
00:40With the last of his strength, he paddled the raft toward it
00:43and eventually reached a remote island in the middle of the South Pacific.
00:52Though his body was weak, he felt slightly relieved to finally stand on solid ground.
00:57While exploring the island, Alisson discovered a small village that seemed deserted and abandoned.
01:02The houses were empty with no signs of life.
01:12He kept walking until he reached an old church standing among the trees.
01:16At that moment, he was startled by the presence of a woman calmly sweeping the church floor,
01:21as if the place was still used for worship.
01:23The woman was dressed entirely in white and appeared gentle and graceful.
01:27Alisson froze for a moment, surprised to find someone living on such a remote island,
01:31especially a young woman. The woman herself was shocked to see him,
01:35but once she learned that he was an American marine, she became more at ease.
01:39In a soft voice, she introduced herself as Sister Anila,
01:42a nun who had also been stranded on the island.
01:45Anila then told her story.
01:47She had been part of a religious mission in the Fiji Islands,
01:50but when Japanese forces began attacking and hunting missionaries,
01:53many were captured and killed.
01:55She survived only because she managed to escape to this island.
01:58At first, she was not entirely alone.
02:01A priest named Father Felipe was with her, but he died only four days after they arrived.
02:06Since then, Anila had lived in solitude,
02:09relying on prayer and her belief that someday American forces would come to rescue her.
02:13Even though she knew the chance was small because the South Pacific was controlled by the Japanese at the time,
02:18she chose to keep believing.
02:20After hearing her story, Alisson felt sympathy for her and vowed to help.
02:31He planned to build a raft using the rubber float that had saved him at sea so they could leave
02:35the island together.
02:36Fortunately, the island still had plenty of plants and fruits they could eat.
02:40Days passed, and the two grew closer.
02:43Anila, with her gentle nature and unwavering faith,
02:46slowly taught Alisson, who was stern and not particularly religious, about the meaning of hope.
02:50One day, Alisson asked why a young woman like Anila chose to become a nun.
02:55With a calm smile, she answered that she did it out of pure love for God.
02:59Some time later, while they were walking along the beach, Anila saw a turtle swimming near the shore.
03:04Alisson took the opportunity to teach her how to survive in the wild.
03:08Using simple tools, they tried to capture the turtle,
03:11and after a tiring struggle, Alisson managed to bring it ashore.
03:26They cooked the turtle's meat and ate it together.
03:29For Alisson, it was a small victory in their fight for survival,
03:32while for Anila, it was a lesson about the harshness of life in the wilderness.
03:36Several peaceful days went by,
03:38until one afternoon they heard the sound of an airplane overhead.
03:41When they looked up, they were shocked to see a Japanese aircraft circling the island.
03:49Alisson immediately grabbed Anila's hand and rushed to hide her inside a cave among large rocks.
03:54That night, they could not sleep,
03:56worrying that the plane might have spotted signs of life on the island.
04:05Their fears were confirmed the next morning when a sudden explosion shook the ground.
04:09A Japanese plane dropped bombs and destroyed the entire village.
04:13When Alisson stepped out of hiding, he saw that the houses that once stood were now flattened,
04:18including the raft they had been building.
04:20All their food supplies were burned to ashes.
04:22The situation grew even more difficult.
04:27Soon after, several Japanese ships arrived and deployed troops on the beach.
04:35They set up tents and turned the island into a temporary base.
04:39The situation became extremely dangerous.
04:41One small mistake could get them captured.
04:44Alisson told Anila to remain hidden inside the cave while he went out to find food.
04:51Japanese soldiers patrolled the forest,
04:54but fortunately they did not find the cave where the two were hiding.
04:57The next day, Alisson bravely went to the shoreline to catch fish.
05:00As he was heading back, he saw a flashlight beam in the distance,
05:04a sign that Japanese soldiers were patrolling nearby.
05:07Without hesitation, he dove underwater and hid behind the waves until the patrol boat moved away.
05:18Once the area was safe, he returned to the cave with several fish.
05:22When Anila saw the raw fish, she hesitated.
05:25She could not bring herself to eat it because the fishy smell was too strong.
05:29Alisson tried to convince her that it was the only way to survive,
05:32but she could only manage a small bite before giving up.
05:35Her body began to weaken from hunger, causing Alisson great worry.
05:38In desperation, he made a risky decision, he would sneak into the Japanese camp to find food.
05:44That night, he coated his body with mud to hide his scent and appearance,
05:47then crawled carefully through the trees,
05:49moving silently in the darkness as he waited for the right moment to act.
06:03As the night grew deeper and many of the Japanese soldiers fell asleep,
06:07Alisson finally saw his chance.
06:09Moving slowly and cautiously, he crawled toward one of the tents,
06:13holding his breath to avoid making even the slightest sound.
06:22Once inside, he managed to gather some food, and among the belongings left behind,
06:27he found a small comb.
06:28Without hesitation, he took it with him, not just as an object, but as a simple gift for Anila,
06:33a gesture of care amid the surrounding danger and hardship.
06:37The next morning, Alisson planned a surprise.
06:39He arranged some flowers on a rock, placed the comb beside them,
06:43then hid behind the stones to watch Anila's reaction.
06:46When the nun found the flowers and the comb, she looked touched.
06:49But gently, she explained that she could not use the comb,
06:52because ever since she took her vows, her hair had been cut very short like other novices.
06:57Realizing that the gift would be of no use, Alisson simply told her to throw it away.
07:03Even so, Anila smiled softly, showing that she appreciated the sincerity behind the gesture.
07:09From that moment, it was clear that Alisson could no longer hide his feelings.
07:13He had fallen in love with the woman he once saw only as a symbol of purity and goodness.
07:18Courage began to grow within him.
07:20One day, he gathered the bravery to ask Anila whether she had ever thought about leaving her
07:24religious life and living as an ordinary woman, perhaps marrying and having a family.
07:29But Anila looked at him with her usual calmness.
07:32She explained that the vows she had taken were not just promises, but sacred commitments to God.
07:36She made it clear that the love in her heart belonged only to God, not to a man like Alisson.
07:42Hearing this, Alisson felt his heart break, but deep inside,
07:45he still held on to a small hope that someday Anila might change her mind.
07:49At that moment, a powerful explosion shook the forest around them.
07:53The ground trembled violently, and the sound of gunfire echoed in the distance.
07:57Alisson rushed out of the cave and saw the sky filled with smoke and flashes of light from a battle
08:02at sea.
08:03American warships were engaging the Japanese fleet in the Pacific waters.
08:07When the sound of explosions began to fade, Alisson approached the area where the Japanese troops had
08:12previously set up camp.
08:13He was surprised to find that they had left the island in a hurry.
08:16He immediately called for Anila, and together they inspected the site.
08:20There, they discovered plenty of food supplies and equipment that had been abandoned.
08:24For Alisson, this was a rare opportunity to gather the necessities they desperately needed.
08:29With excitement, they brought the supplies to the former Japanese quarters,
08:33and for the first time in a long while, they felt a sense of relief.
08:36That night, the two of them sang and danced joyfully, as if trying to forget all the suffering they had
08:41endured.
08:42As the sun began to set, Alisson hummed softly while Anila peacefully continued sewing nearby.
08:47The atmosphere felt warm and calming, until Alisson could no longer hold back his feelings.
08:52He looked at Anila and gently asked what she would do if one day they were rescued and returned to
08:57the United States.
08:58With her usual sincerity, Anila answered that she would return to her convent, finish her studies, and continue her service
09:05to God.
09:06Her response once again broke Alisson's heart.
09:08He lowered his head for a moment, then honestly expressed his desire to marry her, build a life together, and
09:14have children.
09:15I've never even lived before, not really.
09:20Anila fell silent, then looked at him with tears in her eyes.
09:24She admitted that she was touched by Alisson's sincerity, but she could not offer false hope.
09:28With a calm voice, she explained that her love had been fully dedicated to God.
09:33While showing the ring on her finger, she said that it symbolized her vow of faithfulness to the Creator,
09:38and that once she completed her novitiate, the ring would be replaced with a gold one as a lifelong commitment.
09:43Alisson remained quiet, trying to hold back his sadness, then pretended to check the beach so he could hide his
09:49feelings.
09:54Meanwhile, Anila sat in deep thought, her eyes gazing blankly toward the sea.
09:58She too carried emotions she could not admit.
10:01Deep inside, she admired Alisson's courage and kindness, but she knew that allowing those feelings to grow would mean betraying
10:07her calling.
10:14Night grew deeper.
10:16Silence filled the old house once occupied by Japanese soldiers.
10:19While they were preparing food, Anila found a bottle of liquor among the supplies.
10:23When she opened it, the distinct aroma spread immediately.
10:27Alisson explained that it was sake, a traditional Japanese drink similar to wine.
10:31He invited her to try it, but Anila refused after learning that it contained alcohol.
10:40In confusion and emotional pressure caused by his unspoken feelings, Alisson drank the sake by himself.
10:47Anila tried to stop him, but it was too late.
10:49Moments later, the alcohol began affecting his mind.
10:53He spoke uncontrollably, uttering words that hurt and frightened Anila.
11:02Feeling upset and wounded, Anila ran out of the house into the heavy rain and darkness.
11:07Realizing his mistake, Alisson immediately chased after her.
11:11He found her collapsed on the ground, weak and shivering from the cold.
11:14Panicking, he carried her back to the cave and lit a small fire to warm her.
11:25With no other choice, he took off his own clothes and covered her body to keep her from freezing.
11:30The next morning, the situation became even more difficult.
11:33Japanese troops returned to the island while Anila was still sick with fever.
11:37With strong determination, Alisson snuck into the enemy camp at night to look for blankets and food.
11:42But this time, he was almost caught.
11:47A Japanese soldier spotted him, yet Alisson managed to overpower him and hide the body among the rocks.
11:58He then returned to the cave carrying the supplies.
12:01When Anila regained consciousness, she was surprised to find herself lying only on a blanket.
12:06Alisson quickly explained what had happened and apologized sincerely.
12:10I don't deserve no thanks.
12:12It was my fault you got sick.
12:15But the danger was far from over.
12:17Realizing one of their soldiers had gone missing, the Japanese troops began a massive search.
12:22They burned parts of the forest and inspected every corner of the island.
12:26Meanwhile, in the cave, Anila could only pray fervently, asking that they would not be found.
12:31A miracle happened, allowing them to remain hidden.
12:34Not long after, the sky was filled with the roaring sound of American fighter planes bombarding Japanese positions.
12:53Seeing this, Alisson shouted with joy, knowing the war was nearing its end and their safety was closer than ever.
12:59With the enemy now retreating, the two of them were finally able to breathe in relief.
13:03But before the moment of their separation arrived, Alisson once again expressed his feelings for the last time.
13:09He begged Anila to marry him and start a new life together once the war ended.
13:13With tears streaming down her cheeks, Anila looked at him and said that she cared for him deeply, but her
13:18love was not meant to be possessed.
13:20She had given her entire heart to God, and she would not break her sacred vow.
13:25Hearing this, Alisson accepted her answer calmly.
13:27In a mixture of heartbreak and bravery, he decided to return to the fight.
13:31He launched an attack on the remaining Japanese artillery still stationed on the island.
13:36Despite injuring his shoulder from an explosion, he managed to destroy the weapon,
13:40ensuring no more casualties would occur on the American side.
13:53Shortly afterward, American forces landed on the island and rescued them both.
14:00When the war finally ended, Anila was sent back to Fiji and then returned to her home country to continue
14:06her religious life.
14:07Meanwhile, Alisson returned to duty until the end of the Pacific War.
14:20The moral message of this story is that true love does not always have to end in togetherness.
14:25Sometimes, the purest form of love is seen in one's ability to let go and honor the choices of the
14:29person they love.
14:30The story of Alisson and sister Anila teaches that sincerity, sacrifice, and faith can flourish even in the darkest moments.
14:37Amid a war filled with suffering, they discovered the true meaning of devotion and compassion.
14:42From the two of them, we learn that true love is not merely about possession,
14:46it is about giving without conditions, protecting without demanding,
14:50and accepting wholeheartedly that some love is destined only to be cherished, not owned.
