Japan Sinks: 2020 follows the Mutou family as their ordinary routines are shattered by a nationwide disaster. Kouichirou works at a construction site, Mari is returning from an overseas trip, Ayumu has just finished track practice, and Gou is staying home playing video games when a massive earthquake tears through the Japanese archipelago. As the ground gives way and the country begins to sink beneath the sea, the family is forced onto a desperate road through a homeland that becomes less stable and less familiar with every passing hour. What starts as a struggle to escape danger becomes a harsher test of endurance, trust, and grief. The Mutous must depend on one another while facing collapsing cities, dwindling supplies, and the emotional weight of watching the place they call home disappear around them. Japan Sinks turns a national catastrophe into an intimate survival story, balancing large-scale disaster with the smaller choices that keep people moving forward. In a country falling apart beneath their feet, hope becomes as fragile as the ground itself.
