The economic situation is parlous in a small metal factory on Japan's eastern coast that produces parts for other companies. Ever since the tsunami struck, which also hit the industrial town of Hitachi, the workers are unmotivated, they harrass their Chinese colleagues. It's only thanks to the creativity of skilled young worker Kenji that the company has landed another contract. Yet he dies in an accident on his very first day at the clients' site. His colleague Takumi is to blame, who becomes the object of hatred for the whole workforce, as all take sides with Kenji's widow Shiori. But she gradually develops sympathy for Takumi, her hatred turning over time into love. (Berlinale)
