Yoshida Dormitory (吉田寮) is an 105-year-old student residence in Kyoto University, Japan.
The university's management has tried to force students living there to move out, supposedly because of the building's age, but some dormitory students are refusing to leave their home, even now that the deadline has long passed.
What, exactly, is so special about Yoshida?
This documentary (an edited version of a longer, Japanese-language piece) brings us inside the rarely-seen Yoshida complex, introducing daily life there in all its slightly mysterious colour and exploring the reasons why the students are trying to remain in this peculiar, yet important, little corner of Kyoto.
