Todake no kyôdai (1941)


When the patriarch of the Toda family suddenly dies, his widow discovers that he has left her with nothing but debt and married children who are unwilling to support her--except for her most thoughtful son, just returned from China.

Mildly satirical family drama with a large, capable ensemble and staged in Ozu's typically well-balanced style.
