The documentary follows 90-year-old architect Shuichi Tsubata and his 87-year-old wife Hideko live in Aichi Prefecture. They are entirely self-sufficient from the many fruits and vegetables growing in their huge garden.
The couple lives in harmony with nature and are utterly disconnected from the stress of modern life.
As the documentary progresses, we dive into the past of Shuichi Tsubata and learn of his original meeting with Aichi Prefecture as a young man proposing a way of building housing that were in harmony with nature after WW2 - but the government refused because being able to house maximum amount of people on the minimum amount of place was the only priority.
Shuichi Tsubata has spent his entirely life trying to live his beliefs - changing the area, living by example and even getting classes established for kids to learn about a more sustainable way of life.
On top of this, we follow the every-day life of the couple with many little rituals and details - with enormous vitality and love of life, the two are an inspirational meeting to say the least.
