Director Akira Kurosawa draws inspiration from Japanese folklore and his own childhood dreams for this episodic film featuring eight narratives about a man´s relationship with nature. The first dream, ´Sunshine Through the Rain´, depicts the belief that foxes marry when the sun shines through a rainstorm. ´The Peach Orchard´ follows the link between a doll festival and fruit trees which have the power to bring the dolls to life.

In ´The Blizzard´, a group of mountaineers struggle to walk on as the snow hampers their progress. ´The Tunnel´ follows the journey of a discharged commander who is returning home from the Second World War. In ´Crows´, Martin Scorsese stars as Vincent Van Gogh who is discovered when an art student travels through one of his paintings.

´Mount Fuji in Red´ follows the chaos that ensues after six reactors at a nuclear plant near Mount Fuji explode, filling the skies with bright red fumes. In ´The Weeping Demon´, a boy lost in the mountains comes across a horned man who explains that a holocaust has wiped out the human race. Finally, in ´Village of the Watermills´, a young man on his travels discovers a village where the inhabitants have renounced modern technology to live a simple life off the land
