[Synopsis]
At Aomori Prefectural Sanbongi Agricultural High School, Manami and her classmates are enrolled in the Animal Science department. They start to work hard to take care of the livestock, fighting off the smell of feces.
One day, they visit a shelter and learn that the animals there are killed, and the bones are disposed of as “garbage.”
This is based on the true story of five high school girls who stood up to reclaim the life of animals that are killed without being able to speak out.
A new lesson about life now begins.
