Centred on an exchange of knowledge and experience between an indigenous Ainu elder and a filmmaker during the early stages of her pregnancy, Scent Line on a Moving Mountain pays close attention to the sensations of a type of ecological relationship that is no longer commonly practiced in Hokkaido, Japan. We see the two women foraging and cooking together, finding abundance where it isn’t immediately apparent.
