Little Forest: Winter/Spring
Farm cook eat to live.
Directed by Junichi Mori
Produced by Shochiku, Robot Communications
A meditative, visually rich slice-of-life about rural living, seasonal rhythms, and the quiet emotional work of cooking and community.
Ichiko bakes a cake for an end-of-year party with her friends. In the depths of winter, making mochi and curry keeps the people of Komori warm. Later, spring brings thoughts of her absent mother as well as rice planting and sakura, and she begins to think of leaving Komori behind again.
