The setting is World War II, and conflicts have already arisen when the military police come to take Seburi men away into the army. Still following their own customs that can be harsh at times, and are particularly cruel to women (women must give birth alone and unaided, a woman\u0027s adultery is punished by burying her up to her neck in the earth and then leaving her for days), the Seburi are mainly treated with fear and animosity by the non-Seburi townspeople of the region. Along with the hardships arising from cultural clashes, nature\u0027s own vagaries present other challenges to the Seburi -- who still lived in tents until the 1950s. Winter avalanches and snowstorms cause as much havoc as the tensions engendered by the slow encroachment of the modern world.","wins":2,"nominations":4,"casts":[{"name":"Ken\u0027ichi Hagiwara","code":"nm0353714","characters":"Hajime Kinoshita"},{"name":"Yumiko Fujita","code":"nm0297855","characters":"Kuni"},{"name":"Michiko Kohno","code":"nm1631617","characters":"Hide"},{"name":"Takashi Nait\u00f4","code":"nm0619822","characters":"Kazuo"},{"name":"Ai Saotome","code":"nm1294696","characters":"Hana"},{"name":"Eiko Nagashima","code":"nm0619188","characters":"Mitsu"},{"name":"Taiji Tonoyama","code":"nm0867401","characters":"Kamezo"},{"name":"Ken Mitsuishi","code":"nm0594073","characters":"Jiro"},{"name":"Hideo Murota","code":"nm0605712","characters":"Kuzushiri"},{"name":"Rei Okamoto","code":"nm0993648","characters":"Tome"},{"name":"Asao Uchida","code":"nm0879729","characters":"Ayutachi"},{"name":"Nenji Kobayashi","code":"nm0462042","characters":"Army"},{"name":"Yoshio Ichikawa","code":"nm1213155","characters":"Imasuke"}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[],"production":[{"id":"co0119318","text":"Toei Kyoto"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[{"code":"tt0058178","title":"The Flowers and the Angry Waves"},{"code":"tt0287812","title":"People of Twilight"},{"code":"tt0316143","title":"A Savage Beast Goes Mad"},{"code":"tt0089404","title":"Capone Cries a Lot"}]}
