- Synopsis
- The “poorest president in the world” lived the most “beautiful life in the world” by staying true to his belief in honorable poverty.
  A way of life we should all strive for – a way of life that the Japanese people have forgotten.
  Humans are the only creatures that stumble on the same rock over and over again.
  A special film infused with heartfelt messages on “life”
  from President Mujica to the Japanese people
  In 2012, President Jose Mujica of Uruguay presented his speech at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
  “Are we really compatriots?”
  The world was shocked by his direct, but warm message sharply criticizing the consumer culture of modern societies. Is this the right way to live? Fuji TV director Kazuma Tabei followed President Mujica for three years documenting his humble lifestyle and recording his heartfelt messages, which he shares with us in the form of this film. Four years after his famous UN speech, President Mujica came to Japan. The first place he wanted to visit: Hiroshima and the Peace Memorial. The words he spoke there...
  A man from Uruguay, South America on the opposite end of the globe, well-versed in Japanese history, passionately shares his hope for the future of the Japanese people. A moving story of President Mujica, great man with deep ties to Japan.
