Synopsis

When a fierce demon boar attacks an Emishi village, young prince Ashitaka risks his life to defend his tribe. The beast curses Ashitaka's arm, granting him demonic powers while slowly draining his life. The village elders instruct him to journey westward for a cure. Ashitaka arrives at Tatara, the Iron Town, and finds himself in the middle of a fierce conflict: Lady Eboshi of Tatara, who promotes constant deforestation, stands against Princess San and the sacred spirits of the forest, who are furious at the destruction caused by humans. As the opposing forces of nature and mankind clash in a desperate struggle for survival, Ashitaka attempts to seek harmony between the two, all while battling the latent demon within him. Princess Mononoke is a tale depicting the connection of technology and nature, showing the path to harmony that could be achieved by mutual acceptance.
