Little Forest: Summer/Autumn

Original title: リトル・フォレスト 夏・秋

“Live off the land and recharge.”

Directed by Junichi Mori

Fleeing heartbreak in the big city, Ichiko returns to Komori, her rural hometown. She battles summer's rain and humidity, bakes her own bread, grows hothouse tomatoes and tills the fields. During autumn, the time for pickling and preserving fish and sweet potatoes, Ichiko begins reaping rice and recalls her departure five years before.
