Hiroshima, Mon Amour  is the classic 1959 love story about loss, forgetfulness, memories of World War II and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. 
 
Fifteen years after the atomic bombing of  Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945, a film crew arrives in Hiroshima to make a film about peace. The film's actress meets and has a brief affair with a Japanese man she meets the night before her return to France.  The two debate memory and forgetfulness, failed relationships, the meaning of the Hiroshima bombing and, in flashback images, recount their pain and anguished memories of war.
