The
story begins in the spring of 1928 and depicts the heart-to-heart
relationship between an elementary school teacher and
her twelve pupils on a small island in the Island Sea.
The political and economic changes in Japan from the
1920s to the end of WWII are viewed through the eyes
of the teacher and her pupils.
Gradually the Japanese Government increased war effects
affect this small peaceful island and inevitably, the
pupil's destines are tragic. When they reunited with
their teacher after the war,only a few girls and a boy
blinded during the war attend. It has been a long road
for the pupils, teacher and country.
This film moved millions of Japan people since it was
produced when the experience of war was still in the
living memory of many Japanese people. It is said that
people shed more tears watching this film than any other
in Japanese film history. |
