A story about ghosts and spirits that shows how the waves of the tsunami that rocked Japan in 2011 remain alive in the collective imagination of the people who suffered the tragedy. We watch in disbelief, the construction of an immense breakwater of more than 400 km that will completely block the opening of the villages on the coast of Tohoku. On March 11, 2011, an unprecedented tsunami devastated Japan, leaving more than 15,000 dead and a devastated country. This deadly wave was the result of a magnitude 9 earthquake that had occurred that morning. For the inhabitants of the city of Sendai, capital of Miyagi prefecture, the sea has become a hostile element.
