The story takes place in a remote village in the mountains of Shinshu, Japan more than 100 years ago. Behind the small mountain village, Narayama is continuous, and the peak is covered with snow all the year round, isolating the village from the outside world. Due to the extreme poverty of life, there is no surplus food in the village for the elderly and children who are unable to produce. There is a custom here: in every household, only the eldest son can marry a wife and have children, and other men can only work and are not allowed to marry. They are called "slaves." As for the elderly, as soon as a man reaches the age of 70 and a woman reaches the age of 60, the son will carry it to Narayama at the back of the village and let him destroy it by himself.
