The Land of Hope (希望の国 Kibō no Kuni?) is a 2012 Japanese film directed by Sion Sono.[1] Following a nuclear accident, nearby residents are forced to evacuate. A pregnant evacuee fears that she is still at risk from radiation even in her new location, while her in-laws refuse to leave their home.

Plot

An earthquake hits Japan causing a nuclear power plant to explode. In a small village fictitiously called Nagashima, a couple of farmers lead a most peaceful existence and cling to their property despite the instructions of the authorities who define a security perimeter cutting the locality in two. Son and daughter-in-law leave for another village, where Izumi, the young wife, discovers that she is going to give birth to a child. A film evoking the nuclear disaster in Fukushima on March 11, 2011.
