Sukorov's The Sun Official Trailer

Sukorov's The Sun takes place in occupied Japan from late August 1945
until January 1, 1946. On August 15, Emperor Hirohito made a public appeal
to his people to cease military operations, and millions of Japanese were
shocked to hear their Emperor's voice for the first time in their lives.

The film portrays the events leading up to two crucial decisions made by
Hirohito, both of which of major historical significance. The first was the
WW II declaration of surrender, and the second was the renunciation of his
divine status. During this period, the Emperor also forms an unlikely bond
with the American General Douglas McArthur who did much to resolve the
situation with the minimum of victims.
