Takumi and his daughter Hana live in a village close to Tokyo. Like generations before, they live modest lives that follow the cycles and order of nature. One day, when company representatives from Tokyo arrive to present a plan to build a glamping (glamour camping) site near Takumi’s house, offering city residents a comfortable ‘escape’ to nature, it becomes clear that the project will harm the local water supply, causing unrest.
