To eat, or not to eat? That is the question posed in the delightful School Days with a Pig, winner of the Audience Award at the 21st Tokyo Film Festival. Directed by Maeda Tetsu (A Cheerful Gang Turns the Earth), this heartwarming crowdpleaser serves up the triple killer of popular leading man Tsumabuki Satoshi, cute kids, & a cuter piglet. Based on a true story, the film follows the experiences of a schoolteacher & his 28 students who raise a pig together with the original intention of eating it at the end of the school year. Presenting classroom scenes & debates in a documentary-like manner, the film realistically captures the childrens experiences & emotions as the year goes by.

Enthusiastic newbie school teacher Hoshi (Tsumabuki Satoshi) starts off the school year with an interesting project. Towing a piglet to class, Hoshi informs his 28 students they will be raising their new classroom pet together, & then eating it at the end of the year. The kids take a quick liking to their pink mascot & name her P-chan. Learning responsibility & having fun at the same time, they happily play with & care for P-chan, but as the year end draws near, the kids are faced with some tough decisions about P-chans fate.
