Fünf Winter

Five Winters is a monumental epic in Cinemascope format: a gripping thriller, a harrowing portrait of war, and a heartbreaking love story all in one.

December 1941: Joe McGrady is a detective with the Honolulu PD and is assigned to investigate a case that will change his life forever: the murder of a young man, the nephew of the commander of the Pacific Fleet, and his girlfriend, a young Japanese woman. McGrady follows a suspect to Hong Kong, which is being taken over by the Japanese. He is captured and taken to Japan, where he faces death as a potential spy. He is rescued by diplomat Takahashi Kansei, who is secretly working against the official Japanese war policy. Takahashi and his daughter Sachi hide McGrady until Japan's surrender. McGrady returns to Hawaii and begins to revisit the old case after five long winters.
