[ Story ]
Oura Miran was a university student when she shot this documentary about her family in the aftermath of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami.
The Oura family are forced to leave their hometown of Namie because of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Oldest daughter Miran has no place to call home but feels weird about her "disaster victim" status, and she decides to turn the camera on herself and her family. The Oura family are unsettled by their repeated temporary returns home and the way the environment keeps changing. Where can we find our "road home"? The family members continue searching for their own place to which they can return.
