Synopsis
After 2011 Tohoku disaster, volunteers rescue displaced pets, reuniting dog Gonta with the Tomita family.
On March 11, 2011, a devastating earthquake and tsunami struck Japan's Tohoku region. In the chaos of evacuation, the Tomita family is forced to leave behind their beloved 8-year-old dog, Gonta. Meanwhile in Tokyo, university student Yoshino joins a volunteer pet rescue group and travels to the disaster zone. There, she encounters a dog in need of help and begins a journey that will connect her with the Tomita family and the pet rescue community. As Yoshino becomes more deeply involved in animal rescue efforts, she discovers her own personal connection to this important work. The story follows the intertwined fates of the displaced pets and the people working to reunite them with their families in the aftermath of the disaster.
On March 11, 2011, a massive earthquake of magnitude 9.0 hit the Tohoku region. The Tomita Diner family evacuates from place to place, leaving their 8-year-old dog, Gonta, behind. Meanwhile Yoshino, a female university student in Tokyo, joins a pet rescue volunteer group and goes to the disaster area. There, she rescues a dog and names him Peace, but he is found to be suffering from a serious illness and is diagnosed as having only one month to live. Yoshino desperately tries to bring Peace back to his original owner. Miraculously, Yoshino meets the Tomita family and learns that Peace is Gonta. Gonta continues to live to the point that even doctors are surprised, and becomes a hope for many victims. Yoshino also becomes increasingly involved in pet rescue, which she had a reason for.
