Drama. Sci-Fi In the not distant future Japan has again experienced a nuclear incident and is gradually becoming uninhabitable. The entire population has to evacuate before being deluged by radiation poisoning. To achieve this a ticketing system has been implemented. Not prioritized is an immigrant to Japan whose closest friend to begin with in the dying country is not even alive.

	Media	Author	Review
		Lee Marshall Screendaily	"A half-boiled tale set in the near future that plays on Japan’s post-Fukushima traumas without saying anything very interesting about them, or making much of the human-android relationship at the heart of the story"
		Mark Schilling The Japan Times	"[It] captures android intimacy (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Peter Debruge Variety	"This dreary study of human-robot relations offers little to engage apart from its pretty scenery."
		The Hollywood Reporter	"Dark, hopeless and pretty depressing (...) The film raises all sorts of questions about how the viewer empathizes and identifies with on-screen characters, which alone should excite festival curiosity"
