Widower Hirayama, a former captain in the Japanese navy, lives with his twenty-four-year-old daughter Michiko, who stayed single to take care of him. Michiko lives a happy life with her father, but Hirayama feels it is time to let her go and tries to arrange a marriage for her.
Yasujirō Ozu’s swan song—yet another outstanding, understated domestic drama—returns once more to the relationship between a father and daughter. With a typically masterful delicacy, and a standout performance from company player Daisuke Katô, Ozu crafts another profoundly powerful classic.
