Ryoichi (Eita) lives in a wooden hut deep in a snow-covered forest. His autonomy means he’s answerable to no one. His connection to the modern world is not completely severed, however, a one-way communication is maintained so he can send letter bombs to the faceless corporate executives that orchestrate the marketing and lies. He’s doing his bit for society by attempting to tear it down a little piece at a time.
At odds with the environment, the self-imposed isolation is warming. The visitations by, well, something, are eerie and powerfully motivating.
It’s a film that doesn't give you every answer you seek, but it may encourage you to ask some pertinent questions and evaluate their worth.
