Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
In the small mountain community of Kannogawa, Japan, the laws of nature reshape the human blueprint of what used to be a lively town. While the younger generations have gone to the cities, the remainders perform everyday activities with a brave perspective on their history and the cycles of life.
