It is, perhaps, one of the best minimalistic movies a Japanese Director ever produced.

Some people just aim to live their life : in the land they belong to, in an 'old fashioned way' where modernity doesn't intertwine that much.
This movie has simple plots with smart & smooth gestures of socio-political issues within. I love the details of their everyday-life captured in the movie. It's actually philosophical yet this movie delivers it in an easy and simple way, enriched by its music soundtrack and beautiful sceneries of a village.
