Ever since that day in March 2011, Yuta Naganuma had tried to distance himself from what happened. His younger brother was among 84 students and teachers who died when a massive tsunami hit Okawa Elementary School in northeastern Japan. All told, 418 residents of the district were killed, and his hometown was destroyed. For a long time, Yuta struggled to accept his brother's death and the loss of his beloved hometown. But, finally, he finds the strength to move on, through a journey of reconciliation and remembrance

In 2017, a high-school drama club in a disaster-hit area in Northern Japan chooses the 2011 earthquake and tsunami as the theme for a play to be performed at a national competition. Most of the students in the play didn't experience the tsunami firsthand and have avoided talking about it at school. But they take on the challenge of facing the disaster and learning about the sufferings of survivors. They hope their play will keep alive and spread the memories of what happened in their hometown.
