Tôkyô Monogatari plot
"As long as life goes on, relationships between parents and children will bring boundless joy and endless grief."
An elderly couple Hirayama travels from the countryside to Tokyo, where their children live. There they encounter indifference and unwillingness to spend time with them. Only the now single daughter-in-law Noriko takes a day off to give them a tour of the city. The next day, the children send their parents to a noisy seaside town outside the city, whose parents soon return. Before their return home, one last confrontation between parents and children takes place.
