The vivid picture style of the film and the cheerful and lively music bring us a sense of relaxation and joy. At the beginning of the film, a young child's voice introduces the whole family one by one, and slowly takes us closer to the life of the Yamada family. The appearances are in the order of respecting the old and loving the young. First, the old grandmother who still does not lose her personality, then Matsuko, a housewife who is confused and kind all day long, her father who has always been a parent, and her brother who encounters problems in life and loves to think. Finally, The one who appeared was a cute girl with a small partial hairstyle - Noyeko.

The film is adapted from a four-frame comic by Ishii Shouichi. It uses natural and simple lines, a lightly faded style of painting, and white space to make the whole film full of a relaxed and lively atmosphere. A philosophical life story.

There is a love saying "I would like to be with you for a lifetime, two people, three meals, four seasons", which is really the art of confession. The film depicts the warm picture of a happy family in the way of comics, and the daily interesting stories of "one family, two children, three generations, four seasons" under the same roof. Looking back, it is also the growth story of thousands of our families.

    It really retains the style of the four-frame comics. In addition to making full use of the characteristics of continuous animation at the beginning, each paragraph is only a minute or two later, depicting the trivial life of a lazy and slippery family of five. Finally, it is fixed with a haiku sentence, which is still unfinished. However, this style of painting is really too plain.

    Adult animation. The details of life are captured very accurately, so it touches people and can resonate a lot, either with a knowing smile, or with tears... If you are willing to live trivially with the person you like, it is also a kind of happiness!
