Plot summary

Tsutomu lives alone in the mountains, writing essays, cooking Zen food with the vegetables he grows and the mushrooms he picks in the hills. His routine is happily disturbed when Machiko, his editor and love interest, occasionally visits. Tsutomu seems content with his daily life. On the other hand, he still hasn't let go of his wife's ashes, although she died 13 years ago.

Movie Reviews

The other main character of the movie - nature

Humans are truly incredible creatures, enjoying the flavor in their mouths while turning over inexplicable past events and chewing on them along with their memories. Since what goes into the mouth comes from the earth, the mind turns over past experiences, and the ties of the land mellow the palate.Life's impermanence is part of life's daily routine. Humming your favorite song, cooking your favorite food, letting go of your obsessions, and loosening the bonds to yourself is the only way to live comfortably and live freely.It's hard to say whether the movie's positive or negative. Farewell is the ultimate theme of life, before saying goodbye to get rid of concerns, to go forward with a lighter load is powerlessness, is courage, is also a blessing.
