The portrait of a family and their ancestor is sketched like a meditation; on the edge of the forest, in the cycle of nature, at the pace of life passing by and legends, a moving hymn to the bonds forged between generations is given for us to share.

Filmmaking workshop in November-December 2013 in Tawara, a village near Nara, the birthplace of the Japanese film director Naomi Kawase, who directed this film with her assistants and the team from the Film Department.
