An enduring masterpiece created in 1953 by Japan’s legendary film director, Yasujiro Ozu. An elderly couple, Shukichi and Tomi, living in a small fishing village in Hiroshima, visit Tokyo to see their children and grandchildren. Their married children, a local doctor and a hairdresser, are too busy with their own lives to take care of their parents who have travelled such a long way. Shukichi and Tomi are soon sent to Atami, a famous hot-spring resort. On their return from Atami earlier than scheduled, a heartless attitude awaits them. In fact, it is their daughter-in-law, the widow of their second son who went missing in action during the war eight years previously, who welcomes and extends cordial hospitality to them.
