One of the last films to have been shot on 35mm film, Tsuta's visually striking film captures different groups of people in the midst of a tunnel construction project in a beautiful mountain village: some oppose it, some want the advantages for the economy of the village. A young man leaves his life in Tokyo behind and enters the scene. Meanwhile, an old man and his adopted daughter continue their life in the mountains in the ancient, nature respecting way.
