- That is the way it is. In a twist on the 'narayama' fable elders of the village are sent away to starve and die leaving room and nourishment for the young and more productive inhabitants. There is not a room to complain or grumble. Today's older villagers did the same to their parents. The old are fine with it, but what about all their experiences, memories and skills? Are those fine with it as well?
- Having lost both his mother and father, an 11-year-old city boy is sent to live with his grandparents in a small seaside village. Feeling responsible for his father's accidental death, he becomes increasingly introverted and finds himself unable to make friends with the local kids. Then an eccentric elderly doctor takes him under his wing, and tells him of an ancient ceremony where a sacred flame must be brought back from a remote island by a lone swimmer.
