Sekigane-cho, in Tottori Prefecture, is a farming village at the foot of the Chugoku Highlands in Western Japan. Stockbreeder, Mrs. Ikuko Torikai, raises 200 head of beef cattle. Neighborhood schoolchildren come to her farm for hands-on learning. Ikuko had been worried about the tendency for the youth today to disregard the preciousness of life and to act selfishly and even turn to crime. She hit upon the idea of teaching them compassion through work raising cattle, and she invited the school to send their children to her. Among the children, is a young boy who has more than passing interest in raising cattle - Naoki Hosoda. Naoki comes to the cowshed even after school, and on holidays, and takes care of the cows until dusk. Naoki's dream is to one day become a cattle farmer.
