The Blue Bird

"The Blue Bird" is a powerful drama that explores the impact of one teacher's unwavering dedication on a group of high school students. When a substitute teacher named Murauchi arrives at Higashigaoka Junior High School, he introduces himself with a speech impediment, stuttering and facing his pupils with 'words of truth'. Despite the initial shock, Murauchi's determination to make a difference in the lives of his students is unshakeable. He instructs them to return a bullied student's desk and chair to its original place in the classroom, sparking a chain reaction among the students, teachers, and parents. As Murauchi continues to greet the empty desk every morning with a simple "good morning, Noguchi," his persistence and compassion have a profound effect on everyone around him, ultimately changing the course of their lives forever.
