Takumi and his daughter, Hana, live in a village close to Tokyo. There, generations of families have been leading a simple life, dictated by the resources and cycles of nature. Takumi finds out that two big companies are planning on building a glamping site, near his house, so tourists can have a place to “escape” the city. But the construction will affect the village’s water supply and threaten the ecological balance of the place.
