Summary:

In a secluded, snowy mountain village, widower and single father Takumi leads a modest life gathering water, wood, and wild wasabi for a friend's udon shop. Yet this peaceful existence is threatened when a pair of corporate reps arrive to launch a glamping site, sparking resistance from community members who fear the project's potentially pernicious impact on the environment. When Takumi a respected local figure is offered the conciliatory role of site caretaker, it becomes unclear where his loyalties lie.
