    • Synopsis
    • Jeanne, a French journalist, comes to Japan in search of Vision, a rare medicinal herb said to strip away all spiritual anguish and weakness in human beings. She learns that Vision appears only once every 997 years under special conditions, and that time is near. As Jeanne searches the forests for the phantom herb, a millennial event is about to take place in the Yoshino mountains of Nara, opening a door to the true potential of human existence.
