Sakura no Ki no Shita plot

29-year-old director Kei Tanaka paints a portrait of several retired workers in Kawasaki, a city known for its high crime rate. They all live in Nogawa Nishi in a so-called 'danchi': a type of social housing that is gradually disappearing in Japan. Tanaka follows four tenants who cook together, meet together and take care of each other.
