Feeling ill at ease with contemporary life, James leaves the teeming cities behind & sets out on a pilgrimage across rural Japan, in search of wisdom. During his travels he gets lost in a wild wood & meets a young Japanese farmer who is trying to live a new kind of life. James is inspired by him & lets this man teach him to trust nature & the truths within. Seven years later James decides he must return to Japan to learn the truth: has the farmer succeeded, or are we doomed to live out our lives at war with each other & the environment? Based on a true story, this is a life-changing tale of friendship, love & spirituality.
