Balada o Narajame nás prenáša do Japonska v bližšie neurčenom čase do dediny, kde je zvykom odvádzať ľudí, ktorí dosiahli vek sedemdesiat rokov, na neďalekú horu Narajama, aby tam čakali na smrť. Podmanivá úvaha o zákonoch zrodenia a smrti, o večnom kolobehu prírody, v ktorom sa odohráva príbeh Orin, ženy, ktorá nielenže prijíma svoj osud s múdrou rezignáciou, ale ho dokonca sama privoláva. V šesťdesiatich deviatich rokoch sa rozhodne pripraviť na odchod zo sveta: ovdovenému synovi nájde novú ženu, ktorá zaujme jej miesto v práci, rozlúči sa so svojimi blízkymi a doslova prinúti svojho vzdorovitého syna, aby ju odniesol na chrbte tam, kde sa bielia kosti jej predkov. Spoločnosť v chudobnej horskej dedine, ktorú Imamura zobrazuje, je nedostatkom jedla dohnaná k podobnému vyháňaniu svojich neproduktívnych členov.
