A young man is investigating the actual conditions of ‘Retire-men’, or Japanese people who move to southeast Asian countries.
What lies behind their seemingly carefree and peaceful second lives?
Then there are the people who struggle to accept “Retire-men”, and the harsh realities facing those who cross borders to find employment.
