Hokkaido: A frontier where nature remains the primary protagonist
In short: Explore the rugged northern reaches of Japan, where volcanic peaks and deep forests create a sanctuary for wilderness. This film captures the balance between intensive agriculture and the preservation of indigenous traditions in a land only recently colonized.
Hokkaido serves as a distinct geographical territory characterized by its 'tormented relief'—a landscape of powerful volcanic mountain ranges and crystal-clear lakes. These harsh but beneficial climatic conditions provide protected niches for diverse flora and fauna to thrive in immense, largely wild spaces.
While the island supports intensive agriculture on its plains, it also preserves the heritage of the Aïnus, the indigenous inhabitants. The film highlights the ongoing efforts to protect their endangered culture and the harmony found by producers who work alongside the natural environment.
