10,000 pencil drawings scream: nature doesn't care about your nostalgia.
Man often yearns of a past more innocent and pure. This film disregards that sentimentality and depicts a constant, permanent transformation of the landscape of mountains and rivers. A beautiful and intense image poem made from thousands of pencil drawings.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kurosaka spent years on this, each frame hand-drawn to reject digital smoothness — the visible labor mirrors nature's own relentless, unglamorous work.
A direct assault on Japanese 'satoyama' nostalgia and Studio Ghibli's gentle nature worship; Kurosaka belongs to a brutalist animation lineage including Yōji Kuri and Tatsuo Satō.
