がばい―佐賀のがばいばあちゃん

In 1958, a young boy is sent from Hiroshima to the rural Saga Prefecture to live with his grandmother, a woman he barely knows. His mother, struggling financially, hopes this move will provide him with a better life. Uprooted from his home and thrust into unfamiliar, impoverished conditions, the boy feels isolated and deeply misses his old life.

The boy's initial discomfort is compounded by his grandmother's unconventional and frugal ways, which seem strange and harsh to him. However, as he navigates the challenges of his new environment and the pains of growing up, he begins to witness his grandmother's incredible resourcefulness and unique wisdom. Through their daily struggles in post-war Japan, a profound bond starts to form, teaching him invaluable lessons about resilience, happiness, and family.
