In "A Gentle Breeze in the Village," Soyo Migata (Kaho) is a quirky 8th grade student who resides in a tiny rural village somewhere in Japan. The village is small enough where there's only 6 students that attends their school (from 1st grade through 8th grade). Soyo's been friends with her classmates since early childhood and they all hang out together like an extended family. One day, a new student named Hiromi Osawa (Masaki Okada) arrives. He's a good looking boy from Tokyo and all the other students view as something of a celebrity.
