Cocoon: One Summer of Girlhood (2025): In the last days of the Second World War, the US invaded Okinawa. The fighting was fierce, as US troops tried to capture the entirety of Japan’s southernmost island of Japan. A group of 200 Japanese high school girls, known as the Himeyuri Gakutotai (Lily Princess Student Corps), had been “volunteered” to help Japanese Army medical units in the island’s many caves. But as the chaos of the frontline fighting took over, the girls were dismissed and told to go home—a near-impossible task in the midst of a battlefield.
