Synopsis:
For several years, the Japanese government has been building housing developments in the heart of Fukushima Prefecture. More than a decade after the accident, the still heavily contaminated region is seeing the emergence of these concrete neighborhoods, nestled amidst a wild and radioactive landscape. This film paints an intimate portrait of the inhabitants of these places and offers a poetic reflection on the region.
