Recently in Japan, more and more young people who were raised in the city are choosing to go back to the land as they relocate to the rural areas their grandparents call home. In early 2015, Chiemi, a nurse from Osaka, moved to Tokushima Prefecture, where her grandmother was living alone. With the guidance of her elderly relative, she gradually absorbs the rural wisdom of farming and cooking, and, due to the family connection to the area, is warmly accepted by locals. But there are struggles too: the generation gap means Chiemi and her grandmother see things differently; and old age also brings its challenges. What does the future hold? Follow Chiemi's return to her roots.
