Soyo is the oldest in the tiny school of a tiny hick town. She believes it is the best place on earth, but then a boy from Tokyo enters the school and everything changes... Director YAMASHITA and scriptwriter WATANABE (both NIPPON CONNECTION favorites) conjure up the quiet uproar of first love in a magical way.
