Synopsis: Mononoke Hime
Princess Mononoke, a film by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghilbi, portrays the encroachment of human beings on sacred animal grounds. The greed for resources and land drives humans to destroy trees, provoking the resentment of animal gods who retaliate by attacking human settlements. Ashitaka, a young refugee from the Emishi people, gets embroiled in the conflict after he kills an animal god and is cursed with death. He ventures across Japan searching for a cure but ends up encountering a camp where he meets 'Monster Princess,' a girl raised by a 300-year-old female dog god who loathes humans. As the two parties clash, with Ashitaka and San in the middle, they must learn to coexist without animosity and combat. In the meantime, Irontown, a new community, gets founded near the sacred forest, and a cursed warrior and a girl raised by wolves strive to bring harmony to the area. The destiny of the land and its inhabitants hangs by a thread.
