A sprawling, disturbing, and bizarre epic about the clash of societies within the territory of a Japan rapidly modernizing. On the southern island of Karuge, where ancient tribal customs and animistic worship rituals sill hold most of the inhabitants in a strong grip, an outsider arrivers to convert the island's arable land into a sugar cane plantation and to exploit its inherent value as a future tourist destination. However, the forces of commerce and technology are ill-prepared to deal with the islanders' stubborness or the complex myths and taboos which compel them to live as they do.

DVD-R is in Japanese with switchable English subtitles. Approx. 173 mins. See film sample for audio and video quality!
