A poem to daily life lulled by the tale of the water god, whose well in the forest is inaccessible, due to the risk of being struck blind. The directors observe peasant farmers and nature and approach the well to take a shot of it.

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.
