Many evacuees have been stricken by poverty after the government cut off the housing subsidies for those who fled their homes after the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Mothers and their young children are particularly vulnerable to poverty. Many of their husbands still live in Fukushima alone. This film introduces the stories of women who endeavor to survive in adverse circumstances, while the shared memory of the nuclear disaster is fading in Japan.
