Akeji, the Breath of the Mountain
Mélanie Schaan, Corentin Leconte
2020 - France - Couleur - 72'

In the secluded Himuro Valley, Akeji and Asako seem to have lived forever in a grass-roofed hermitage, among animals and the spirits of nature. Season after season, Asako picks plants which she transforms into pigments, Akeji prays and devotes himself to painting. The cycle of nature seems immutable. Yet time is cracking apart.
