Synopsis
A film produced and paid for by Kitakyushu City's Board of Education and Council for the Promotion of Outcast Issue Awareness. The story follows two second-year junior high girls who discover an old lady collapsed outside her home in rural Japan. After assisting her back inside, the two hear the old lady's harrowing life story and discover that she is illiterate. Shocked by this, the girls vow to volunteer their time to teach the old woman to read and write each day.
