Wars and disasters force people to take decisions that they are usually not ready and are too hesitant to take. The film follows a family that was forced to leave their house and hometown following a nuclear accident at their local power plant caused by an earthquake.

It was shot almost a year after the 2011 touhoku earthquake and tsunami that took place in Japan which has lead to the Fukushima daiichi power plant nuclear accident.

The place set in the story was fictional but it connects back to reality with all those affected by the 2011 disaster and keeps a reminder that this could happen again.

The film was very good despite the serious and sad premises it was set in, it was meant to touch with reality and in that it did a very good job.
