This film has a deceptively simple art style and innocent protagonists that hook in an unsuspecting audience. The sweetness of the old couple serve to lower our guard and expect some charming banter, yet the looming nuclear strike aims to completely subvert that. A quaint and nostalgic country existence is suddenly torn asunder by this inescapable black swan. Its familiar denizens are totally unprepared to deal with the suffering and aftermath which is portrayed in a very horrifying and drawn out manner that does not leave out any detail.
