A small office worker lives in the suburbs of Tokyo with his family. Seeing their father bowing to his boss, his two boys ask him why he is doing this. Faced with his unsatisfactory response, the two boys then begin a hunger strike…

Yasujirō Ozu (1903 –1963) was a Japanese film director and screenwriter. He began his career during the era of silent films, and his last films were made in colour in the early 1960s. Ozu first made a number of short comedies, before turning to more serious themes in the 1930s. The most prominent themes of Ozu’s work are family and marriage, and especially the relationships between generations. His most widely beloved films include Late Spring (1949), Tokyo Story (1953), and An Autumn Afternoon (1962).
