Handyman Takumi and his young daughter, Hana, live in a small, tranquil village just outside of Tokyo. Pristine spring water, lush mountainsides and serene forests where deer roam peacefully make this untouched corner of the earth a slice of heaven.
When news of a plan to build a ‘glamping’ site for city tourists on the village’s outskirts hits the community, the residents find themselves in a Goliath-like battle with an uncaring conglomerate who have little interest in the ecological health and well-being of this peaceful hamlet and its inhabitants.
