Fruits of Faith (DVD)(Japan Version) DVD Region 2

In 2006, NHK documentary program Professional profiled the work of Kimura Askinori, the first person in the world to successfully grow organic apples without the use of chemicals. His story became the inspiration of best-selling book Kiseki no Ringo, which spent 63 weeks on the bestsellers list in Japan. Writer Yoshida Tomoko (We Were There) and director Nakamura Yoshihiro (Fish Story, A Boy and His Samurai) bring the story of this foolishly idealistic dreamer to the silver screen with Fruits of Faith, chronicling Kimura's tough 11-year journey to his dream. Comedy star Abe Sadao takes on another rare dramatic role after Dreams for Sale, starring as the farmer who risks his entire fortune to make sure his loving wife can continue growing apples without being harmed by chemicals. The heartwarming drama about determination and dreams also features a moving score by legendary composer Hisashi Joe.

Refusing to live the life of an ordinary farmer in his small Aomori town, Akinori (Abe Sadao) has always been interested in studying how things work. After failing to find a proper job in Tokyo, Akinori returns home, ready to accept his fate. However, he happily takes up the responsibility of being an apple grower when he falls in love with old high school classmate Mieko (Kanno Miho). Soon, Akinori discovers that Mieko falls ill whenever her family uses pesticides on the apples. To prevent that from happening again, Akinori works tirelessly to find a way to grow apples without using chemicals. Akinori's efforts fail year after year, sending the family into debt, but the determined dreamer refuses to stop...

This edition includes making of, stage events, television specials, deleted scenes, interviews and trailers.
