Hayao Miyazaki plunges into medieval Japan and delivers an epic and monumental fresco. Ashitaka is a young prince who falls victim to a deadly curse. In search of a cure, he crosses territories where humans and forest gods clash, a cruel war symbolising the conflict between human civilisation and the reign of nature. He crosses paths with San, a young girl raised by wolves, and Lady Eboshi, the head of the blacksmith clan, who clash mercilessly. Ashitaka will try to reconcile them, in vain...

Princess Mononoke (Mononoke-hime) is one of Hayao Miyazaki's most powerful films, a prodigious masterpiece of unprecedented gravity.
