В одном из районов Токио после летних каникул планируется снести старую школу. Единственный человек, который серьёзно переживает по этому поводу, — преподаватель японского языка Накадзима. Он решает во время летних каникул провести специальные дополнительные занятия для отстающих учеников, которые бы остались у них на память о старой школе. Занятия в отличие от обычных проходят по желанию самих учеников. Дети хотят знать, как понравиться учительнице, как кататься на роликах и многое другое, что не объясняется на обычных уроках. Совместные игры-занятия сплачивают их, а настоящая дружба рождается, когда они готовятся провести праздник специально для отца одной девочки, больного раком. Чтобы доставить ему радость, им приходится преодолеть много трудностей.
