The Ballad of Narayama
楢山節考
With my mother on my back, now is the time to say goodbye to this world.
Overview
In a remote village where food is scarce, elders who reach the age of 70 are carried by their children to the top of a nearby mountain to die in solitude. Orin, a vibrant 69-year-old grandmother, has accepted her fate — but struggles to prepare the rest of her family for the ritual.
