On March 11, 2011, a powerful tsunami engulfed the coast and a nuclear power plant in Fukushima. Many people are killed and thousands more flee the region. However, one man decides to stay in the red zone and challenge the radioactivity. In silence, with the wind as the only music in his days, Naoto Matsumura remains on site to care for his land and feed his livestock. His presence becomes a hindrance to the strategy of the government, which is anxious to erase memories of the incident. By staying in this area, Naoto is the protector of the past and declares that humanity must change.
