The synopsis is pretty spot on. Set on Hokkaido where the winters are mongrels but filmed almost exclusively in Spring to Autumn. Very accurate depiction IMHO of the grueling life on a small plot farm. Bits of coming of age, father figure, romance, tight-knit community, hidden secrets and with a little farce thrown in as well. Avoids the sometimes seen in Japanese movies pitfall of getting maudlin. Not a classic but very well done.
