Fruits of Faith (DVD) (Taiwan Version) DVD Region 3

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...

　　不灑農藥、不用肥料的蘋果，可以種植成功嗎？

　　木村執著的感人故事，引爆全日本熱烈迴響 。證明了人跟大自然超乎想像的生命力。

　　木村秋則從小在青森縣津輕郡長大，他自小就有異常的好奇心，喜歡對機械與自然問題探索究竟。他娶了妻子美榮子後，繼承了岳父的蘋果園，全家就以種植蘋果為生。但不久後木村發現美榮子對噴灑農藥嚴重過敏。為了妻子的健康，木村開始研究如何種植無農藥的蘋果。

　　但蘋果是人類經過千年基因改造的水果，對自然界的病害與蟲害抵抗力很低，是所謂「上帝的禁果」。木村堅持使用自然農法，經過十年散盡家財，舉家陷入經濟困境，同時還要承受村人異樣的眼光，最後連一向支持他堅持到底的媽媽也勸他放棄。木村會向傳統投降，恢復使用農藥，還是上帝會眷顧他，賜予他「奇蹟蘋果」呢？
