In recent years, the Japanese government has been building housing developments in the heart of Fukushima Prefecture. More than ten years after the accident, this still heavily contaminated region has seen concrete neighbourhoods appear, enclosed within wild and radioactive nature. The film draws an intimate portrait of the people who live there and opens a poetic reflection on what the director, through one of his characters, calls “urban planning without humans”.
