The film tells the story of a series of amusing events that occur after Uchida, a teacher full of life's charm, resolutely quits his position as a university teacher and departs himself to writing at home. Uchida is deeply loved by his students, who hold birthday parties for him every year. Every year at the birthday party, the students would ask the teacher, "Are you ready?" And Uchida's answer was always "Not yet." Uchida's broad-mindedness towards life and death has also deeply influenced his students, constantly reminding them to maintain a healthy and positive mindset. The professor's cat was lost and he kept crying. The students hurried to visit him, searched everywhere for the cat for him, and even went to the school and other places to distribute leaflets and put up notices in the newspapers, hoping to help the teacher find the cat and regain his smile. The deep teacher-student affection runs through the entire film. At the end of the film, Uchida fell asleep after his birthday party. Outside, students were drinking and chatting. In his dream, which was approaching his old age, there was a scene of playing hide-and-seek in the haystack as a child. A large group of children kept Shouting, "Have you hidden?" He kept answering, "Not yet, not yet."[Collapse]
