A synopsis of flowers of war:
1937, Japanese troops invaded Nanjing. During the war, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties was in ruins, and many China soldiers and civilians were trapped in the city. Under the command of the chief instructor Li (David), the remaining national army moral and mechanical teaching team of more than ten people rescued a group of Japanese female students, and Li and others lost the opportunity to go out of the city.
Surviving students such as Shu Juan (Zhang Xinyi) and Johnny Miller (Christian Bale) return to Winchester Church. Johnny Miller, an American, is hired to collect the priest's body from a distance.
At this time, people fleeing from Nanjing flocked to the safe area and the church to take refuge, and fourteen prostitutes forcibly entered the church to take refuge. Among them, Yumo (Nini), who is proficient in English, hopes to provide more protection for the party with the help of John's identity. The walls of the church can't stop the Japanese army, and the people in the church will face a life-and-death choice.
