Takeda
Под руководством майора Китамуры кадеты младших классов усиленно тренируются до изнеможения. Г-н Мацуда и директор Такада, оба с Корейского полуострова, также приложили все силы, чтобы привить своим корейским ученикам японский характер. Мацуда-сенсей заботится об Эйко, чей брат ушел добровольцем, но Эйко не может подойти к Мацуде из-за своих семейных обязанностей. Когда было объявлено, что приказ о призыве вступит в силу и в Корее, кадеты стиснули зубы в надежде стать солдатами императорской армии и продолжили обучение.
"Around the time he made such remarkably ambivalent war films as Mud and Soldiers and Five Scouts, Tasaka directed this 'home front' comedy-drama which is too bizarre to be serious propaganda. [The plot revolves around a public contribution campaign to buy airplanes.] The mayor's aviator son promises to fly over the village in salute, and much of the narrative concerns the preparations for this great event. Tasaka throws in a few songs, some village humor and satire, and tremendous camera mobility, finally wringing every possible effect from his climax." John Gillett, British Film Institute
