Synopsis
Oshika-mura in Nagano Prefecture has once been a sanctuary for Japanese hippies. People who are fed up with city life have come together here to live with nature. The sudden construction of the Linear Shinkansen in this place made the community people confused but also triggered a movement to protect the village. The film starts with a scene where Simon Piggott (70), an English man, is doing a ritual for the mountain spirits. He has been peacefully living here in the nature for 30 years. His only wish is to have a good year ahead. The Japanese title of this film is <大鹿村から吹くパラム>. Director used Katakana パラム (Baram) for 'winds'. The winds in this film of course mean natural wind and a wind of change but it's also our Korean word, Baram which means hope and wish.
