When Tokyo faces a general power breakdown, the city is on the verge of panic.. To escape the chaos, a family decides to join relatives living in Kagoshima ...

Survival Family is an existential road movie in the context of urban apocalypse, but it also appears to be a social satire which highlights the fragility of a society dominated by modern technology. An approach evoking the themes of The Trigger Effect by David Koepp even if the tone here is lighter and offbeat since its director is none other than Shinobu Yaguchi, the Japanese filmmaker that the Westerners discovered thanks to Waterboys in 2001.
