A work by Mikio Naruse reflecting rural family ethics. Yae (played by Chikage Awashima), who has been widowed for many years in the countryside, along with her brother, strives for the work and marriage affairs of the next generation. However, the young people have their own ideas, longing for modern life and unwilling to continue guarding their ancestral fields, and they also have reservations about the marriages arranged by their parents, which exhausts the elders. Yae carefully cares for her nephews with a married journalist, skillfully managing the conflicts between the two generations. In this process, feelings gradually develop between the two, and they vaguely cherish this relationship that transcends friendship. In the end, Yae calmly restrains her feelings after the other party chooses to evade, while her brother finds the younger generation's choices unconvincing but cannot do anything about it. After selling the farmland they have cultivated for many years, he can only lament the ruthless changes of the times.
