Aspiring to an easy job as personal physician to a wealthy family, Noboru Yasumoto is disappointed when his first post after medical school takes him to a small country clinic under the gruff doctor Red Beard. Yasumoto rebels in numerous ways, but Red Beard proves a wise and patient teacher. He gradually introduces his student to the unglamorous side of the profession, ultimately assigning him to care for a prostitute rescued from a local brothel.

"This is such a fantastic film. The plot surrounds a young doctor from a wealthy family goes to work at a hospital in a poorer village. He sees more than his share of sadness, loneliness, and desperation, but learns much more about himself. Although most of the stories are heartbreaking, all the actor are spectacular, and there are lessons to be learned about people throughout the film. There is a 5-minute intermission. Japanese audio."
