Is there time to take a forest bath when you work 12 hours a day? What role does fortune play in a destiny meticulously built with sweat? What battles take place in a concrete jungle and where does art fit in a schedule dominated by balance sheets? "Ganbatte" delves into the juxtaposition and harmony between Japan's culture of relentless work and its deeper essence, which prays for fortune, urges spending time in nature, devoting time to artisanal activities and cultivating faith.
