However, they do not know that the mountain was a site of a bloody inferno and is called "HITOKUI YAMA." As Haido meets Haruko in the village at the bottom of the mountain, his heartless mind gradually warms up for her. The director creates this movie as a picture-card show, and he is also acting as a narrator for the movie.
