Fukushima experienced the earthquake, the tsunami, the nuclear power plant meltdowns, and the COVID-19 pandemic. We see the lives of people who have been living in Fukushima since before the earthquake, people who moved to the area after the reconstruction project, and Chinese people who live in various parts of the prefecture. A story of people living in Fukushima, who, though buffeted by many hardships, live with strength and, at times, with humor.
