When do we take responsibility for the world that we leave?
Though Inspired by events in Fukushima in 2011
THE CHILDREN is alive with Humanity and Humour.
As the world outside is dealing with a disaster at a nuclear power station,
two Nuclear Engineers Hazel and Robin are visited by Rose,
a former colleague who arrives with history and a hidden agenda.
The three must navigate personal truths and professional responsibility.
