星影のワルツ

Summary

Right after the Great East Japan earthquake struck on 11 March 2011, 60-year-old Otani Takashi comes back to his house in Minami Soma, Fukushima Prefecture from work. His wife Kyoko is at home and they have to seek shelter. But he cannot leave the rice seedlings as it is and carries them into the shed. From the second floor of his place, he sees the neighbour’s house engulfed by the tsunami. Kyoko runs up from downstairs to assure him. But a short while later, they feel a jolt and husband and wife end up getting separated.
