An elderly couple travel from rural Japan to Tokyo on a once-in-a-lifetime visit to their adult children. On arrival, they discover the burgeoning capital and the priorities of their family are distinctly different to their expectations. Exploring the burdens of age and family, and the conflicts between of pre- and post-war Japan with amazing beauty and subtlety, Yasujiro Ozu's masterwork is consistently ranked among the finest films ever made.
