Japan is the place that formed Masa Sakano but Scotland is the place that opened his eyes. Rooted in exploring the concept of home, the film takes us from the icy crags of the Scottish mountains to the quiet comfort of Masa's home in the shadow of the Cairngorms and back to his roots in rural Japan. Masa is a climber and translator based in the Scottish Highlands. Originally from Japan, Masa was drawn to Scotland by the winter climbing and the climbing culture. Having climbed around the world, Masa has been part of historic first ascents as well as being passionate about the experience of being out in the landscape.
