Actions coming soon

The setting is a small bento shop in Namie Town, Fukushima Prefecture. Workers and drivers at the reconstruction site come for the affordable, delicious homemade bento boxes. Locals who returned after the evacuation order was lifted visit daily. A male worker who has been doing decontamination work for ten years. A dump truck driver who says the town lacks a sense of daily life. An elderly woman who says she wants to live in this town even if no one else is around. Ten years after the nuclear accident, we listened to the voices of people coming and going at the small bento shop for three days.
