Or more precisely: For everyone who tends to hurt their loved ones. To give a short summary, the film shows the relationship between a widow and her 2 sons. The older brother is not her real son and tension arises as he discovers the truth. He turns very sensitive towards the way he is treated, and unfortunately some cruel words are spoken.I hope you don't pass this because it's a silent film. This film felt concise. Fast. Even short. In fact the running time is only 73 minutes so even if you don't like it, it won't be too much of a hassle.The acting is very good. Especially Mitsuko's expression is haunting. Accompanied with the good shots that one expects in an Ozu film. Regarding the subject, it is not a preaching of family values. More a chance to self-reflect.Despite the absence of any sound, I enjoyed the film and my eyes got a little wet too.
