Emperor

Overview

As World War II draws to a close, General Fellers faces a monumental decision: whether to deem Emperor Hirohito a war criminal deserving of execution. His judgment is complicated by a personal mission to locate Aya, a Japanese exchange student he encountered during his time in the United States. Balancing moral dilemmas with the weight of history, Fellers navigates the political landscape of post-war Japan while grappling with his past connection to Aya, ultimately questioning the implications of his choice for both the emperor and the nation.
