What happens
Nihon Igai Zenbu Chinbotsu (日本以外全部沈没; lit. 'Everything Other than Japan Sinks') is a 2006 Japanese black comedy film directed by Minoru Kawasaki, as a parody of the 2006 film Sinking of Japan. It is based on the 1973 short story of the same name by Yasutaka Tsutsui (a parody of the novel Japan Sinks, released the same year), which criticizes nationalism and racism. It also describes humans as powerless against disaster. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
