Seiichi Yabushita, an elementary school teacher, strives to be strict but fair. When a mother accuses him of humiliating her son, everything spirals out of control: the press ignites, rumors spread, and public opinion runs wild. Caught in the storm, Yabushita struggles to defend his version of the truth… even at the risk of it turning against him.
