Documentary about elderly people who couldn't finish junior high school after the war taking classes for correspondence school. Kanda Hitotsubashi Junior High School in Tokyo's Chiyoda-ku is frequented by numerous elderly people during the school's two days off each month. Their backgrounds are diverse, including a person whose father died in the war and had to work. They struggle with being in the classroom again after sixty years, but the joy of learning brings smiles to their faces. (Source: JFDB)
