Synopsis:

In a remote land steeped in ancient traditions, a young prince named Ashitaka is burdened with a terrible fate. Following a desperate act of defense against a monstrous boar, he bears a curse – a creeping demonic power intertwined with his very life force. Guided by the need for a cure, Ashitaka journeys to Tatara, an iron town forged through relentless deforestation. There, he finds himself caught between Lady Eboshi's ambition and Princess San’s fierce guardianship of the forest spirits.

The narrative explores the complex relationship between humanity's progress and the natural world, portraying a world on the brink of conflict. Ashitaka navigates this escalating tension, striving to bridge the divide between warring factions while grappling with the unsettling influence of the demon within him. The story offers a contemplative examination of coexistence, sacrifice, and the potential for finding balance in a landscape fractured by opposing ideologies.
