The touching and beautifully photographed story of a young woman rediscovering herself and her connection to the environment deep in the Japanese countryside. A must-see for food lovers!
Abandoned by her mother, young Ichiko leaves her life in the city to live off the land in Komori, a small town nestled in the mountains of Tohoku. There, she comes to enjoy her independence and revels in her new-found connection to nature and the foods made from seasonal ingredients. This gentle cinematic tone-poem follows Ichiko through one year as she learns to use and respect the wisdom of rural folk and read the cycle of life and connectedness in the environment around her. Based on Daisuke Igarashi’s popular manga series.
