Widower Shuhei Hirayama lives together with two of his three adult children: his daughter Michiko and his son Kazuo. He also has a married son, Koichi. His sons aren't doing all that great: Koichi hits his father up for loans and Kazuo is just generally lazy. With their mother apparently long deceased--it's strongly implied she was killed in an American bombing raid--Michiko is keeping house for her father and brother. Most of the plot revolves around Shuhei's growing worries that Michiko will never be able to marry since she spends all of her time taking care of him and Kazuo, worried that they couldn't take care of themselves.

* BittersweetEnding: Michiko gets married, which is what she wanted given her reaction to when the first match is rejected. But Shuhei is melancholy, sitting home alone in the last scene, after musing how it's a waste to raise children because they leave so soon. There's also irony in that his drunken blubbering is almost exactly like Sakuma's the night Shuhei took him home, but the ostensible reason for marrying Michiko off was so he ''wouldn't'' end up like Sakuma.

* LighterAndSofter: Than ''Film/LateSpring'', which follows almost the exact same plot and themes, but in a tragic way. In this film, the daughter actually desires marriage, but is waiting for the right time, and there's actual expectations on the father to not rely on his daughter for his whole life. The daughter here ends up happy on the day of her wedding instead of crushed, and since the father has another child still living at home, he's not left completely alone in the end, merely downcast in a realistic way that his daughter is gone from the home.
** Inverted in the case of Michiko and Miura. In ''Late Spring,'' the engaged Hattori is implied to have a subtle crush on Noriko, but Noriko has no interest in him. Michiko and Miura's feelings are mutual, but Miura wouldn't break his engagement, and Michiko is despondent when she learns that he's taken.
