Yuki Hirano, recently graduated from high school, finds himself signed up for forestry work by his parents.[4] Traveling to work in the remote village of Kamusari is difficult in many ways for Yuki, who was born and raised in the city; a new coworker even takes Yuki's cell phone and cheerfully disposes of the battery.[1]
Over the course of a year, the young man comes to appreciate the meticulous process of taking care of the trees and the environment around him.[5][6]
