In 1945, Hideo, who was a student, was mobilized to work at a mine in Ishikawa, Fukushima Prefecture during World War II. Hideo did not know what he was mining, but it was uranium. In 1966, at Futaba, Fukushima Prefecture, Hideo was the last person who opposed the construction of a nuclear power plant in his town. Because of his objection, he was ostracized by others. His daughter Aiko was in love with Kenji who supported the nuclear power plant and even made support signs for the construction of the nuclear power plant. Over the nuclear power plant issue, their relationship was severed. In 2011, Kenji and his son worked at the Tokyo Electronic company, but his son died of cancer. One day, Kenji meets Aiko again.
