A film documenting the Matsuri and the life of the farmers in Nagano Prefecture. In the bosom of the mountain, people cultivate wasabi, rice, practice sericulture, forestry, mulberry picking. Some even cultivate barley in fields with a slope of 40 degrees. People have to live to the rythm of the seasons and to the pace of the water cycles. Whatever happens, their hearts are inextricably linked to the mountains.
