Ever since his wife died, Horikawa (Chishu Ryu) has been single-handedly raising his son Ryohei (Haruhiko Tsuda) while working as a middle school teacher in Kanazawa. But when an accident occurs on a school trip, Horikawa takes responsibility and resigns, moving back to his hometown in Nagano to work at a municipal office. When Ryohei enters middle school, he starts living in a dorm and Horikawa announces that he will work in Tokyo so that he has enough money to send Ryohei to college. Eventually, Ryohei (Shuji Sano) gets into the Imperial University in Sendai and is hired as a teacher in Akita. Horikawa asks Ryohei to consider marrying Fumi (Mitsuko Mito), the daughter of Hirata (Takeshi Sakamoto), his former colleague in Kanazawa. Ryohei bashfully tells his father that it’s up to him, but a few days later, Horikawa suddenly collapses and passes away. In the end, Ryohei and Fumi head to Akita together.
