For one year, pupils in the first and sixth grades of a Japanese elementary school are accompanied. Discipline, a sense of community and good manners are highly valued here alongside the traditional curriculum. An exciting look at the interplay between individualism and respect in everyday life. Between math problems and disaster drills in the event of an earthquake, larger socio-political issues emerge in the daily school routine.
