A prepubescent girl wanders the rice fields near her home and encounters a clay figurine, a remnant from the ancient Jomon people. While little is known about this culture, this short presupposes a matrilineal people and the clay figure speaks to the girl with a strong feminist message. The figure gradually comes to life. The girl continues to see only a clay figure while we, the viewers, see a beautiful woman engaged in a lovely progression of dance expressing a message of feminine strength and resiliency. This film’s intriguing premise is moderately well executed, one of the few detractors being that the voice of the goddess is a male voice. I realize that production limitations might have made finding the right female voice for the goddess impractical. Nevertheless, I wish they had.
