During the 1937 Nanjing Massacre, a postman poses as a photo developer, helping Japanese forces while secretly sheltering Chinese refugees. He later risks his life evacuating them and revealing evidence of the atrocities.
A postman operating a photo lab serves as a double agent, hiding refugees in plain sight while working under the noses of occupying soldiers. He must navigate a razor-thin margin of error to smuggle photographic evidence of the massacre out of the city.
