    Plovers Living on Sashido No-Iso Sing
    Hideko Takamine is a conductress on a shabby bus in the countryside. She greets the passengers, takes their fares, and thanks them when they leave. Business is poor; a competing company has new, clean buses. Cheerful Hideko ropes her driver and a visiting writer into writing a script about local sights for her recite as they travel along their route. Little do they know that their money-grubbing boss has plans that will ruin their happiness. For the moment, they are content.

    For Mikio Naruse, with his stories of small tragedies in a constantly changing Japan, this short feature is as good a life as it can get for the little people he cares about. They are kind, well-meaning people who wish to be moral. Happiness is such a fleeting emotion. Perhaps we should all learn to be satisfied with that.
