Mountain Woman
Late 18th century, Tohoku. In a village suffering from famine causes by cold weather, young Rin (Anna Yamada) and her family survive through dirty works. In spite of disdain from the villagers, she draws strength from the looming presence of Mt.Hayachine, where the spirits of all humans are said to ascend after passing.
One day, her father, Ihei (Masatoshi Nagase), causes an uproar that shakes the whole village. In order to protect her family, Rin takes the blame and leaves the village. Wandering deep into the mountains to its forbidden realm, she encounters a mysterious being.
