What dark fate awaits beneát z roaring falls? Suwa a jej otec live sám na svahoch Horsebare Mountain, eking out the most meager of existences. Počas horúce mesiace krásne vodopády brings a niekoľko sightseers, ale keď v zime sa nachádza len v solitude. Suwa by sa chystá upustiť do života na ktoré jej otca has resigned himself. And lure of the river is strong... This early classic from the author of Japan's greatest modern novely is dark, elliptical tale of hopelessness that weaves folklore of mountains in the anti-coming-of-age story as vividly relevant today as it was when it was written nearly a hundred years ago.
