In ancient times, the forces of
man and the gods of the beasts are beginning to clash over the forests and their
natural resources. When young Ashitaka, the prince of an isolated village, kills
a rampaging boar god, he is afflicted with a curse. In a matter of time it will
kill him if he cannot find a cure. So, he travels away from his home to find the
cause of the boar god's curse and hatred of humans. There he finds humans
fighting not only amongst themselves, but a town of outcasts where the soil is
mined for iron. The people of this town are determined to take the resources
from the forest near them, but that forest is the home of the forest god, and is
protected by the wolf clan. But there is also one human who fights with the
beasts--San, the Princess Mononoke. Ashitaka seeks only to find answers, but he
soon finds himself in the middle of an epic struggle.
