The wild boar are despised by the villagers whose fields they destroy. Yet they are sacred. But in spite of this the hunters do their job. The director conducts the investigation, between Greek mythology and the cutting up of the animal.

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.
