The only Ozu film during WWII. The story follows a single father who must live separately from his son. Later, the son follows his father’s footsteps and becomes a teacher. The profound joys and sorrows in this father-son relationship make this one of the pinnacles of Ozu’s works. The repeated fishing scenes between father and son highlight the deep bond between the two.
