Cast

Plot

Katsu is a 60 year-old lumberjack who lives in a small, tranquil village in the mountains. When a film crew arrives to shoot a zombie movie, he finds himself unwittingly roped into assisting the production and is increasing frustrated by the pushy crew, especially the young, seemingly spineless director Koichi. However, an improbable friendship soon develops between the two, as Katsu comes to see joy in the filmmaking process, and gradually helps Koichi to recover his sense of self. The Woodsman and The Rain is a quirky, delightful joy.
