The second part of contemporary artist Jean-Michel Alberola's documentary follows the life of a Japanese village as the seasons change. Aged between 60 and 85, the last eight inhabitants of Koyamaru live virtually self-sufficiently in a harsh, contrasting landscape. Their village is a farming enclave that is particularly attached to traditional rice-growing methods, which are under threat from the globalization of agriculture. After the harsh winter months, it's time for the harvest and life outside... According to the artist, in this second part we see 'the gardens, the daily tasks, we hear the women much more than in the first part, where the couples expressed themselves, leaving the conversation mainly to the men (...). And the whole thing will be, or should be, a political film in the sense that it shows and describes a very local natural world.

Koyamaru, l'été et l'automne is a Documentary film.
