About
A small island in the Pacific is full of life, with green forests, many birds and fish, and a peaceful village. But the islanders live with the knowledge that their mountain god sometimes grumbles and threatens to awake, so they offer up prayers and garlands to coax the giant back to sleep. When the volcano erupts, the people must leave their homes and settle on another island. After the eruption, the island is a barren black rock in the sea, but gradually life returns.
