Tokyo Shaking
Directed by Olivier Peyon
Produced by Les Films du Lendemain, Wild Bunch
A tense, character-driven drama about a woman caught between professional duty and family survival during Japan's 2011 nuclear crisis.
March 11, 2011. The biggest tsunami Japan has ever experienced triggers the Fukushima disaster. Risks are being downplayed but the foreign community in Tokyo is terrified by this tragic event and the fact that no one is capable of assessing its scope. Among them, Alexandra, a French executive newly arrived from Hong Kong to work in a bank, has to face this nuclear crisis. Torn apart between fol- lowing the company’s instructions and going back to her husband and children who are still in Hong Kong, she will find herself defending honor and given word, despite the pervading terror and chaos.
