1965 in Iwaki, a coal mining town in Fukushima Prefecture. Sanae (Eri TOKUNAGA) sees a flier recruiting hula dancers and invites Kimiko (Yu AOI) along, insisting that it’s their only chance to escape from the town. For generations, the men have worked as coal miners, and the women as ore-dressers. However, with oil gradually supplanting coal as the main energy source, one mine after another was closing down. Faced with an economic crisis, mining company officials and the town leaders came up with a brilliant idea to develop a resort facility, the “Joban Hawaiian Center”.
