Synopsis
During the occupation of Nanjing in the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army commits widespread atrocities including massacres, rapes, and looting. They make quisling interpreter Wang Guanghai help them control the city in exchange for passes to leave Nanjing for his family. Though married, he has an affair with opera actress Lin Yuxiu, who performs for the Japanese military to survive. Wang works to get Lin an extra pass.
Japanese military photographer Hideo Itō is assigned to document the occupation for propaganda. When Major Kuroshima orders him to execute a man to prove that he is a real soldier, Itō discovers postman Ah Chang and asks if he is a photo developer. Chang lies to save himself, leading Itō to a nearby photographic studio. Itō gives Chang one day to develop his film rolls, with Wang interpreting.
Chang finds the studio's owner, Jin Chengzong and his family hiding inside. He convinces Chang to help develop the photos to avoid suspicion. Chang initially runs to the city exits but returns after witnessing soldiers killing escapees. The next day, after Jin and Chang develop the photos, Itō challenges Chang to develop negatives in front of him. He opens the darkroom door midway, ruining the photos to Chang's dismay. Itō dismisses Chang by saying that the photos of Chinese "don't matter".
As Chang wins Itō's trust, Wang claims Lin as Chang's wife in order to secure another pass. Itō agrees, and Wang brings Lin to the studio to live together with Chang, strengthening the ruse. Lin was saved from the Japanese, who threatened to strip her naked during a performance, by a hiding soldier, Song Cunyi. She secretly smuggles Song to the photo studio with her. The group decides to cooperate, with Chang and Jin developing negatives to maintain Chang's facade in exchange for food and relative safety. The developed films reveal staged propaganda of Japanese-Chinese cooperation, but images of brutal atrocities are also developed. Song learns from one of the photos that his brother has been executed. The negatives of atrocities are hidden by the group. Itō's commander Colonel Inoue tells Itō to continue collecting them for use as a tool to terrorize the Chinese should the war drag on.
