A dog abandoned after the 2011 earthquake survives with two names, two lives, two people who loved it when nobody else would. This is not a rescue fantasy. It is the specific, unbearable reality of what gets left behind when disaster passes and the world moves on. The film does not look away from the animal's suffering or manufacture redemption from it. Gonta's story asks what loyalty actually costs when survival itself becomes an act of faith. You will cry. More importantly, you will understand why.

On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake strikes the Tohoku region, and the Tomita family must move from one evacuation site to another. In the chaos they are forced to leave behind Gonta, their 8-year-old dog. In Tokyo, a university student named Yoshino signs up with a volunteer group that rescues pets and travels to the stricken area. She saves a dog there and calls him Peace, but he turns out to be gravely ill, with a doctor giving him only a month to live. Yoshino sets out to return Peace to the owner he had before. The result is a drama film about a dog who lives under two names in the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster.
