Fruits of Faith
A touching film based on a true story about the hardships endured
by a farmer who attempts to cultivate apples organically. Its
director is Nakamura Yoshihiro, who rose to prominence with The
Foreign Duck, the Native Duck and God in a Coin Locker and has
continued to produce heartwarming dramas.
In Hirosaki in Aomori Prefecture, farmer Kimura Akinori (Abe
Sadawo) vows to do the impossible and grow apples organically out
of concern for his wife Mieko (Kanno Miho), who has grown ill due
to agricultural chemicals. Despite the objections of others and
his family's descent into abject poverty, Akinori devotes himself
to cultivating the fruit.
