An aging couple visit a son, a daughter, a widowed daughter-in-law and
some grandchildren in Toko in the early 50s.They are welcomed but the
grandchildren are indifferent, and the son and daughter have little time for
them. Only the daughter-in-law shows them real affection.
In beautiful black and white, with almost no drama, the complexity and
depth of family feelings are explored, feelings that we can all identify with.
The film deserves its status as a classic.
