Film
Restaurant from the Sky (Sora no Resutoran)
Southern Hokkaido area
Set in Setana Town in Hokkaido, this film follows protagonist Wataru Shitara (Yo Oizumi), his wife Kotoe (Manami Honjo), and his daughter Shiori (Rin Shono) as they run a cattle ranch with a view of the sea. Accompanied by many friends who have come to enjoy food that is "in touch with nature", the family enjoy each day on their challenging but beautiful land. The film was based on a real collective of farmers in Setana Town, Yamanokai, who use natural farming methods to achieve circular agriculture. Central to the film is cheese, which ties a dish together and has a richness to it, symbolizing the bonds between the characters.
