Ozu delves into the affairs of a middle class by highlighting the struggles of a family amidst social customs and beliefs.
He depicts the life of a single father who wants his two daughters to settle down - one who is married and has come to live with him with her young kid; the other, younger daughter in love with a man who isn't too committed to her.
Famous for his low-camera shots, the black-&-white film gets inside these characters and effectively builds tension over a long period of time which works at seemingly slow-pace.
