A story of finding a place to root yourself when life’s obstacles have dispirited you. Chang-su, a former equestrian athlete for the South Korean national team, was forced to give up on his dream early. He finds himself working at a quarry in the rural town of Minawa in western Japan, where he lives with Minami and her infant daughter. Yamabuki, a teenage girl, begins to stage silent protests that blossom into community action, much to the dismay of her policeman father. The quiet surface of this rural town is gradually peeled off to reveal frustration and loneliness that, once given a voice, begin to connect people.

[IFFR'22] Yamasuki talks about the sense of belonging and the transformation of a Japan that, even in the smallest towns, has accepted the irruption of multiculturalism. But this feeling of not belonging to a place is not only present in immigration, but also in the inhabitants themselves. And this representation of survival in hostile terrain, as the yamabuki flower survives among the rocks of the mountains, raises a more than interesting reflection on contemporary society.
