The film follows (Chishū Ryū), an aging widower and Navy veteran living in postwar Tokyo with his unmarried 24-year-old daughter, Michiko (Shima Iwashita), and younger son. While content with Michiko managing his household, a chance encounter with a former teacher—who lives in poverty with a now-embittered daughter he never married off—forces Shūhei to realize his own selfishness. He decides to arrange a marriage for Michiko, leading to a poignant exploration of loneliness, modernization, and the inevitable passage of time.
