Evil Does Not Exist (12A)

Single parent and odd job man Takumi, keenly attuned to the local flora and fauna, lives with his small daughter Hana in a forest close to the peaceful village of Mizubiki, an area of outstanding natural beauty. When a development company proposes to set up a substantial glamping site there, it meets strong resistance from the villagers. But the film is much more nuanced and ambiguous, darker and more mysterious, than a simple struggle between country and city, between ecological values and rampant exploitation.
