The Teahouse of the August Moon

In the aftermath of World War II, an American captain arrives in Japan to spearhead the construction of a school, but the community's desires take an unexpected turn as they advocate for a teahouse instead.

In the post-war years, a captain is sent to a Japanese village to teach democracy, but he's met with unexpected resistance. The locals have their own ideas about what they want, and it's not what the captain had planned.
