Akeji, the Breath of the Mountain - Akeji, le souffle de la montagne

In the Himuro Valley, in Japan, Akeji and Asako seem to have lived for ever in an hermitage, among the animals and the spirits of nature. Season after season, Asako collects the plants that she transforms into pigments, Akeji prays and devotes himself to painting. The cycle of nature seems unalterable. Still, time crackles and the reality catches up with them.
