Synopsis:
Takumi and his daughter Hana live in Mizubiki Village, close to Tokyo. Like generations before them, they live a modest life according to the cycles and order of nature. One day, the village inhabitants become aware of a plan to build a glamping site near Takumi’s house; offering city residents a comfortable ‘escape’ to nature. When two company representatives from Tokyo arrive in the village to hold a meeting, it becomes clear that the project will have a negative impact on the local water supply, causing unrest. The agency’s mismatched intentions endanger both the ecological balance of the nature plateau and their way of life, with an aftermath that affects Takumi’s life.

Director Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s highly-anticipated follow-up to the Oscar-winning Drive My Car about the clash between urban and nature offers no easy answers and will make audiences rethink the validity of the film’s title. This slow and penetrating cinema has received the Grand Jury Prize and FIPRESCI Prize at the Venice International Film Festival and was crowned Best Film at the London Film Festival.

一對居於長野縣諏訪小村莊的父女，本來過著順應自然的平凡日子，但發展商企圖在村內興建豪華露營區，不單嚴重影響村民賴以為生的水源和自然生態，父女倆原本恬靜簡樸的生活亦因而改寫。

憑《Drive My Car》勇奪奧斯卡最佳國際電影、橫掃全球多個獎項的濱口龍介載譽回歸，新作再次與作曲家石橋英子合作，帶領觀眾由城市深入林野，解構自然與衝突，同時探問人性善惡的命題。本片榮獲威尼斯影展評審團大獎及國際影評人聯盟獎、倫敦電影節最佳電影獎等殊榮。
