Japanese movie, setting in a beautiful village. The genre is kind of romance, i guess bcs it involved a girl from a city that moved to this village to teach school (elementary i guess) and a man (i think he's in 20s, same as the girl) that originally from this village. His daily activities is harvesting cabbage that instructed by a tape recorder, i think it's from his grandpa that already passed away. I'm sure the man has a mental retardation (sorry for the insensitivity). One particular thing i remember is the man likes to cover himself with fertilizer/chemicals that is used to harvest cabbage, because he thinks he become stronger with that.


I watched this movie couple years ago at waku waku japan. I'm sorry for my english. Anyone know this movie? Thanks a lot ^^

It's "Bare Essence of Life". Finally my little research come to a result. Thanks
