The year is 1917, and under Japanese occupation, Taiwan suffers from terrible drought and famine. Residents of the Chianan Plain live in squalor, their lives defined by the daily struggle of carting water home. When Yoichi Hatta, a Japanese civil engineer, arrives with a plan to reshape the area's irrigation dramatically, the local residents are quick to call him a liar. Xu Yingzhe, the son of a poor farmer, takes issue with the outright rejection of Hatta's plan and tries to reason and grasp the situation. Hatta's scheme may seem crazy, but it could be the very thing that improves the strenuous lives of the Taiwanese people.

Where it came from
Pattenrai!! Minami no Shima no Mizu Monogatari, released in 2009, was produced by Mushi Production to commemorate the life and legacy of Yoshiharu Seki, a Japanese civil engineer who traveled to Iriomote Island in the 1930s. The film depicts his efforts to combat the malaria that plagued the island's residents by designing and constructing a comprehensive water supply system. It serves as a historical dramatization of the challenges faced by the islanders and the technological intervention that eventually allowed the local community to flourish.
The film was directed by Shinichi Nakada, who aimed to bridge the gap between historical documentary and accessible animation. The visual style reflects Mushi Production’s commitment to educational storytelling, utilizing a traditional anime aesthetic to depict the lush geography of Iriomote and the period-accurate socio-economic conditions of pre-war Okinawa. It was received as a sincere, if modest, contribution to regional historical preservation, focusing more on the spirit of cultural cooperation than on experimental cinematic techniques.
