Hi no Ataru Ie (1954)

On the outskirts of Tokyo, the family of Nakahara Mitsu lives in one of the small huts surrounded by barracks and tin pens. Mitsu’s husband died in the war, and she was left alone with four children and works as a day laborer. The eldest daughter Haruko, who is already nineteen years old, works in a clothing store; the second daughter Natsuko works in a restaurant, schoolboy Akio is studying carpentry, and even the youngest Fuyuko helps her mother by working as a nanny in a neighboring house. Nearby lives a widowed electrician Yamada Tokuji with two boys - Norio and Tatsuo. He has a widowed daughter named Sakiko who has run away from home and taken her young child with her. At Haruko’s suggestion, Mitsu and Tokuji get married, and it would seem that happiness smiles on their new family, but it turned out to be short-lived.
