Retour à Fukushima plot

More than ten years after the nuclear disaster, new neighborhoods are rising in the small town of Namie, in Fukushima, in a landscape that remains polluted. While the rest of the city has been deserted since the evacuation in 2011, 'the new city' attracts few people. The few residents are mainly the elderly. Beneath the dignified way in which they lead their lives—calm and with humor despite the difficulties of their situation—lies deep anger.
