Film Overview

This story takes place in a world where fiber material lays thick on the ground and can’t be disposed due to climate change.
They say a big typhoon occurs once in a thousand years.
It’s considered dangerous to live above ground where a disaster could occur at any time.
People who were afraid of disasters started living in underground caves.
Ashima, who is dissatisfied with the underground world, begins her journey above ground with her friend Shimon.
