故事发生在一个偏僻的日本信州深山村落，楢山屹立于村后，将村庄与外界隔绝。村子里贫困潦倒，缺乏足够的粮食供养老人和孩子。在这里，有一个习俗：每个家庭只允许大儿子结婚生子，其他男性只能劳动，被称为"奴崽"。而对于年迈的父母来说，当男人达到70岁，女人达到60岁时，他们将被儿子背到楢山后，让他们自行结束生命。
阿玲婆（由坂本澄子饰演）对于即将去楢山参拜似乎并不在意，她忙于安排大儿子辰平（由绪形拳饰演）的婚事。然而，阿玲婆还有一桩心事，那就是她决心在上山前为二儿子利助（由肥田木通弘饰演）找个女人，让他尝试男女之欢的滋味。阿玲婆完成了上山前的一切准备工作，满怀信心地决定了上楢山的日期。辰平怀着悲壮的心情背着母亲上了楢山。他觉得自己仿佛成了楢山神的仆人，按照山神的指引前行。最终，辰平找到了一块没有尸骸的岩石，将母亲安放在那里。按照规矩，他不能回头，迈着坚定的步伐下山。突然，他感到天空开始下雪了，这正是阿玲婆所期待的吉兆。他的内心得到某种解脱。雪花越来越大，山顶上的雪花飘飘洒洒，楢山被银装覆盖，宛如一座神圣的山峰，静默无语。
The story takes place in a remote mountain village in Shinshu, Japan. The village is cut off from the outside world. The village is poor and lacks enough food for the elderly and children. Here, there is a custom: each family only allows the eldest son to marry and have children, and other men can only work, which is called "slave". As for the elderly parents, when the man reaches 70 years old and the woman reaches 60 years old, they will be carried by their sons to Narayama and let them end their lives by themselves.
A Lingpo (played by Sakamoto Sumiko) doesn’t seem to care about her upcoming visit to Narayama She is busy arranging the marriage of her eldest son Chen Ping (played by Ken Ogata). However, Mother-in-Ling still has one other thing on her mind, that is, she is determined to find a woman for her second son Toshiko (played by Michihiro Hida Kitsuhiro) before going up the mountain, so that he can try the taste of sex between a man and a woman. A Lingpo completed all the preparations before going up the mountain, and confidently decided on the date of going up Narayama. With a tragic mood, Chen Ping went up to Narayama with his mother on his back. He felt as if he had become a servant of Narayama God, following the guidance of the mountain god. In the end, Chen Ping found a rock without a corpse and placed his mother there. According to the rules, he couldn't turn his head back and went down the mountain with firm steps. Suddenly, he felt that the sky began to snow, which was exactly the auspicious omen that A Lingpo was looking forward to. There was some kind of relief in his heart. The snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger, and the snowflakes on the top of the mountain are fluttering, and Mt. Nara is covered in silver, like a sacred mountain, silent.
