Features: DVD
Michio, 15, is sent to a remote, Catholic boys orphanage soon after the death of his father. Awkward and unable to speak without stuttering, he finds it nearly impossible to get along in his new environment. Yasuo, the star soprano in the school choir, helps him escape but then convinces him to come back to the orphanage and join the choir. The two boys become fast friends. But while rehearsing with the choir at a neighboring girls school, Yasuo becomes jealous of Michio's suddden fascination with the opposite sex. To vent his frustration, Yasuo spends the Summer marching in anti-war demonstrations in Tokyo. When he returns to school in the Fall, he discovers to his horror that his angelic voice has changed...
Editor's Note
This coming of age film tells the story of fifteen year old Michio who is sent off to a boys orphanage following the untimely death of his father. Being a stutterer, Michio finds it very hard to fit in and get along with other students at the school. Yasuo, his only friend and star soprano in the choir, helps him overcome his fear and convinces him to join the group of singers. The two become closer as friends until Yasuo becomes jealous of Michio's growing attraction to the girls of a neighboring school. Over the Summer break Michio and Yasuo spend most of their time protesting and performing revolutionary songs with anti-war groups in Tokyo. When they return for the next school year, one of them is horrified when he discovers his voice has drastically changed.
