The nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan has been gradually disappearing from people's memories. But what we find in Fukushima today is quite staggering. Measuring radiation levels is the first thing that the locals do every morning instead of enjoying their coffee. A grandmother cries when thinking about the future of her grandchildren, while elderly parents agonize over whether to force their daughter who was exposed to radiation to have an abortion or not. This film is about a trip of 17 Japanese people from Fukushima to Chernobyl, which they visited in order to get a glimpse of the future that now awaits them. It shines a spotlight on the aftermath of the nuclear accident in Fukushima for the first time.

"A village is in danger of being submerged. That is because building of the Young-ju dam nearby the village has been begun. Village people including Maeum Eoreon are coming to terms with disappearance of their village. But it is hard for all the village people to leave their homes. Some of them want to move to another place together.
After returning his hometown in 2010, Mr. Jang is struggling alone against Korea Water Resources Corporation. His fight is beyond his power. He feels pitiful about others who never tried to struggle against government and adapt their first relocation in 400 years."

guaranteed their position as subject of agriculture production.
I wanted to show their lives which are out of social
interest but keep our land and take responsibility of
our food, so I hoped their name to be remembered to all
of us.

The flame reminds me of something I (the director) witnessed in 1991. I was a high school student when I saw a college student set himself on fire. That time people dubbed the politics as "the politics of burning oneself to death". In the June 1987 movement, TV and newspapers reported the death of Hanyol, who was my neighbor. This documentary is a deathbed portrait of Korea.
