The Miracle Apple [Film and TV Commentary]

Because of his wife Mieiko (Miho Kanno) Kimura Akinori (played by Abe Takashi), who lives at the foot of Iwaki Mountain in Nakatsugaru County, Aomori Prefecture, decided to abandon the fruit farmers' work methods that have been used for many years, hoping to cultivate pure natural apples that do not require spraying pesticides. His decision was beyond ordinary people's imagination and was considered an impossible task by the villagers. But once he made a decision, he studied it wholeheartedly. During this period, Meizi and his father-in-law Seiji (played by Yamazaki Tsutomu) became his strongest spiritual and material backing. However, Qiu Ze, who had nothing to learn from, could only fumble forward amidst constant failures. Even after more than ten years of hard work, his dream still failed to come true, and the originally good family was on the verge of collapse. He cried, he despaired, looking forward to a miracle... This film is adapted from the true deeds of Guonong Kimura Akunori
