SYNOPSIS:

HIRAYAMA SHUKICHI and TOMI, elderly man and wife, come to Tokyo from Onomichi after an interval of 20 years and stay with the family of their oldest son KOICHI who has a small clinic in the suburb of Tokyo. KOICHI is unable to afford time-wise and financially to give his parents enough care and attention. Feeling unwanted, they move to their oldest daughter SHIGE's place. As she runs a beauty shop, she is always hustling and bustling. She bluntly shows her annoyance to them and talks them into going to Atami, a hot spring town. Disturbed by noise at an inn, however, they only stay one night at Atami and come back to Tokyo. Upon returning, SHUKICHI visits his old friend NUMATA and complains about the coldness of his children. TOMI goes to see NORIKO, the widow of her deceased younger son, at her apartment. She is very happy to receive a warm welcome from NORIKO who is not related by blood.
