Synopsis:
Sugihama is a high-school kid who, besides typical teenage and love problems, has difficulties because of his origins. Namely, he is a “Zaichi”- second generation of North Koreans who live in Japan. Even though they are physically almost identical to Japanese people, these Koreans are not fully integrated into Japanese society. After Sugihama gets expelled from a North Korean school because he swore in Japanese, he is equally unlucky in a Japanese school.
