This film was an opportunity for Ishiro Honda
to realize
his dream of making a documentary-like film and to express his love of
nature. This is a film which showcases both the love and hatred between
human beings, following the story of the victims of a landslide which
is caused by the unrestrained development of natural areas. The main
character is a
researcher who is studying the effects of development on the
mechanisms of nature.
