synopsis
A portrait of Okinawa, conceived as the wanderings of a young boy whose attention is randomly attracted to various things and events. Cinematic intuition proudly triumphs over method. The combination of black-and-white with color footage, distinctive soundtrack, and blurring of the lines between documentary and fiction make
Kuichisan a mysterious and fascinating experience.
