[Machine Translation] Selling leaves for 200 million yen. A true story of a miracle in the smallest town in Shikoku. Kamikatsu Town is located in the mountains of Tokushima Prefecture. This town, with the smallest population in Shikoku and an aging population, was a typical depopulated area that had nothing to do with the word "hope. One day, however, a miracle occurred. One agricultural cooperative employee came up with the idea of selling leaves from the mountains as a "garnish" for cooking, and the business was launched by women in their 70s and 80s, and has since grown into a big business with annual sales of more than 200 million yen. The town regained its luster and transformed itself to the point of recording a population increase. This film is based on that true story. This heartwarming and moving film, shot entirely on location in Kamikatsu Town, depicts how the women involved in the launch of the toys business transformed themselves, revived the town, and passed on the joy of living to the future.
