This documentary follows a group of students at the sensitive age of 15 as they try to move on in the wake of a major disaster. In April 2016, 2 earthquakes measuring between magnitude 6 and 7 struck the town of Mashiki in Kumamoto Prefecture. More than half of the students at a local junior high school had their homes damaged. They were forced to live in a shelter in the middle of their broken town.
