Abstract:

"In this animated film adaptation of a Japanese classic Botchan sets out for his first teaching assignment and finds he must contend with students who spy on him and pull nasty stunts. While on a fishing trip to boost his spirits, Botchan suspects Hotta, his only friend in the village, as the cause of his misery. Back at the school during a meeting to discuss the students' disrespectful behavior, Botchan's suspected adversary defends him! Then when evidence of the dean's activities surface, Botchan and Hotta must team up to corner the dean in his own scandalous game."
