Deep in the forest, Takumi lives with his daughter, Hana, in the idyllic village of Harasawa. To keep his head above water, he takes on odd jobs for the other villagers. When the Tokyo-based company Playmode discovers the unspoiled area and begins building a luxurious camping site, the village idyll is shattered. Can the locals preserve their little oasis of tranquility from the onslaught of tourists? Oscar-winning director Ryûsuke Hamaguchi's (DRIVE MY CAR) slow burn thriller combines both earthly and metaphysical worlds. EVIL DOES NOT EXIST depicts a conflict between economic and ecological interests.
