Minori Toyohara

Pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, dans une fabrique d'instruments d'optique, de jeunes ouvrières travaillent sur les viseurs d'artilleurs. Une ouvrière tombe malade, abandonne son travail, puis le reprend. Une autre se blesse, mais n'abandonne pas l'usine. Un film de propagande pour l'effort de guerre japonais.

A sixteen-year-old who had been living on her own since her mother died, frequently gets in trouble with the police. She gets sent to an "institute" for young girls in the countryside. There the residents grow their own food, cook and clean for themselves, and are taught language, music, and sewing. While there the young girl slowly begins to form friendships and come out of her shell.
