Possibly the sweetest, most touching film I've ever been fortunate to see. As a father, I understand Murai's need perfectly.

Oh my heart! wonderful film. Thank you for this beautiful and enlightening story. I don't want to say too much or I would spoil it for others, but this is one of the tenderest most beautiful stories I've seen.

The basic premise of some radiation danger in this exclusion zone undermines an otherwise great film.
