Yasujiro Ozu co-writes and directs this nuanced family drama, the
second of three films to star Setsuko Hara as the headstrong and
warm-hearted Noriko. Living in post-Second World War Tokyo with her
extended family, Noriko contributes to the household income by
working as a secretary, but her parents are concerned that she has
reached the advanced age of 28 without thus far securing herself a
husband. When she receives a proposal from a family friend 12 years
her senior, her family sees this as a wonderful opportunity - but
to everyone's surprise Noriko has plans of her own.
Yasujiro Ozu directs this intimate family portrait telling the
story of widowed college professor Somiya (Chishu Ryu), who must
face the inevitability that his only daughter, 27-year-old Noriko
(Setsuko Hara), will soon be married off. Noriko, however, sees no
reason to disrupt the harmony of the family home and repeatedly
insists that marriage is not for her. Yet the social pressure
continues to build, and eventually Somiya tricks his daughter into
marrying by informing her that he is planning to remarry himself.
