Synopsis

Jody lives with his family on a farm in Hokkaido. Together with his friend Fodder-Wing Forrester from the neighbouring farm, the boy experiences many adventures. Their home is mostly surrounded by swamp, which is why it is not often possible for the two boys to go to town and to school there. Therefore, they have a private tutor with whom they have fun every now and then.

One day, Jody’s father is bitten by a poisonous snake while hunting and has to shoot a deer. The deer’s liver extracts the poison from the body. Afterwards, he is shocked to discover that the deer had a fawn with it. Because he cannot leave the fawn behind, which is now condemned to die, he brings it home with him. Jody immediately takes a liking to the fawn and befriends it. He names it Flag.

It soon becomes clear, however, that Flag brings some problems with him, which are not necessarily met with understanding by the farmers and his parents. Therefore, Jody’s mother insists that Flag must disappear as soon as the animal is an adult. This breaks Jody’s heart right away, but can he still change his mother’s mind …?
