Synopsis:

In a secluded village nestled amidst ancient forests, a young woman named Hana discovers an extraordinary ability – the power to communicate with spirits tied to the natural world. This gift thrusts her into a hidden conflict between humanity and the fading realm of the kami, ancestral deities who once shared the land. As Hana navigates this delicate balance, she encounters enigmatic figures, both human and spiritual, each grappling with their own connection to the past. The series explores themes of environmentalism, cultural preservation, and the burden of inherited responsibility. It offers a contemplative narrative, rich in atmosphere and folklore, inviting viewers to consider the interconnectedness of life and the importance of honoring tradition in a rapidly changing world.
