Plot
A comedy of a clerk's family life, one of his early films.
Sinekatalog’s take
Kon Ichikawa's early comedy follows a clerk and his family life with warmth and wry humour. Light and good-natured, from the days before his more daring work, it is a pleasant, modest domestic comedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
