A young German woman bonds with an elderly Japanese woman while touring the Fukushima region of Japan in the aftermath of the 2011 earthquake.

Marie, a brokenhearted young German woman, lands in Fukushima determined to change her life, but that's easier said than done. Marie has difficulty adapting not only to Japanese life but life in a martyred city. She ends up finding refuge with old Satomi, the last living Geisha in town. Marie even follows Satomi to the house she was born in, although it lies within the forbidden contaminated zone. The cohabitation between the two women proves anything but easy, different as they are from each other. But little by little true friendship develops between them.—Guy Bellinger
