Mini-Dramas on SDGs

At first, young Sota is less than interested in helping his mother and their neighbors clean up a traditional house to make it ready for its next occupants. Then, he encounters a mysterious young man who relates the history of the building and the community that once surrounded it. That inspires Sota to put his best effort into the cleaning, so that he can help preserve the building's legacy and pass it on to future generations.

The setting is Gujo Hachiman, Gifu Prefecture, known as the "town of water." It has streams so clear that you can see the bottom, and canals and springs that crisscross the community. People here have always treated the water with respect. When YouTube star Haruka visited the town, she turned her camera on the residents and the waterways to offer an "on-the-spot" report from the perspective of an urbanite. Then, a strange fishlike man leads her on a chase and offers an important lesson.
