In the rhythm of a slow visual journey, "The Land Beneath the Fog" takes an intimate look on family relations in Genikan, a village on the slope of Merbabu Mountain. A quiet community faces change without understanding why it happens. As a community of farmers who rely on traditional Javanese calendar system to read the seasons, they become puzzled by the dramatic change of seasons. Describing a life on the brink of vanishing, this documentary offers deep insights into an invisible and disenfranchised society which is struggling hard underneath its veiled existence.

Wonderful character development!
Some things I liked some I did not.
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
