Japanese entertainer.

In a poor 19th century rural Japanese village, everyone who reaches the age of 70 has to climb a nearby mountain to die. An elderly woman is reaching close to her cut-off age during her last days with her family.

A widow who has raised her autistic son alone loses her job and begins attending a technical college. She meets others looking for a new start in life, including a former salary-man with whom she begins a furtive romance.
