[ Story ]
This is the first movie where 82-years old Sugai Kin plays the lead role, having secured the reputation as a distinguished supporting actress in a number of films directed by the leading Japanese directors including Kurosawa Akira, Kawashima Yuzo and Naruse Mikio. Directed by Sakaki Hideo. This is his second feature film following
Home-design sales representative Tomohiro (Okamoto Kenichi) lives with his wife and their son. As his job involves houses, it is his motto to take great care of the family who live in the house. However, he has been working so hard that he has forgotten to cherish his own family. When he looks after a client who wants to leave her father-in-law in a nursing home, it reminds him of his grandmother (Sugai Kin) whom he loved so much. Father's death, grandmother's struggle with disease, and home care - those were grueling times, but the memories have become invaluable for Tomohiro. He realizes his family is the most precious thing of all, though he has forgotten to care about them. On a day off, he and his family decide to visit his mother who lives alone in their old hometown.
