Chiruha, a hidden forest girl, explores human village while Kisara seeks his mysterious curser.
Chiruha lives alone in a small secluded house deep in a mountainous forest, the TV her only connection to the outside world. After years of watching and dreaming of what life must be like in the outside world, she has gathered up her courage to venture out and explore the local village.
