This child was born in a very ordinary Japanese middle-class family. He has an older brother who is in college. His parents also have a traditional division of labor. His father works to earn money to support the family, and his mother takes care of the family at home. Everything is normal until his father's unemployment.
The economic pillar status of a Japanese man in the family determines his voice and supreme status in the family, representing the supreme male dignity. But what happens to an unemployed Japanese man? How will he face and deal with this problem? The father and even his friends in the movie chose to disguise, pretending to go to work every day in suits and leather shoes; ringing the phone on time, then pretending to pick it up; wandering outside every day, getting free meals in the park... It seems that There was no loophole in the plan, but the sensitive housewives felt that something was wrong and knew early on that their husband was unemployed, but they did not expose it for the sake of her husband's face, and the relationship between husband and wife was as depressing as acting. Later, one of the couples committed suicide. The protagonist of the story, the father, was dumbfounded when he heard the news in a bleak autumn.
Later, he finally let go of his body and accepted a job as a cleaner. His daily job is to clean shopping malls and clean toilets. Even there, he encountered men who took off their cleaning clothes, put on suits, and picked up their briefcases. Seeing that scene, the father's expression was actually quite surprised. Since he lost his job, his instinct or his masculinity made him unable to accept this fact. On the first evening of losing his job, he didn't even dare to walk into the house through the front door. , but crawled into the small door on the second floor, extremely embarrassed, he was always at a loss, he didn't know what to do, he was very aggrieved. But after returning home, he was still the head of the family. In front of his sons, he tried his best to show this, never agreeing with the eldest son to join the army, to opposing the younger son to learn the piano, but the eldest son announced that he could find an outside The agency signed on behalf of the author, and the younger son secretly went to learn the piano... During the quarrel with his wife, the wife told the truth: "You are already unemployed.... If you don't have it, then you will be gone. A little dignity." It's true that a man is a bit useless to live to this point.
But what about his wife and son? Husband and father so! That afternoon, a robber broke into the woman's house, a more useless downcast, a very dark humorous episode. First there was an inexplicable robbery, then an inexplicable wife was taken to the car to buy food on the way to the mall, where the woman bumped into her husband, a cleaner who had picked up ill-gotten money, and then the wife drove to the beach like a robber and a friend. In a small shabby house...everything is so nonsensical, but with a sensible rhythm. Maybe people don't like themselves to a certain extent, and they will have problems with their spirits, and life will be hopeless and unable to live. But for this woman, the next morning was another day. When the first ray of sunshine in the morning illuminated her face, life seemed to have hope again. The father can not believe that his child cannot have the ability of genius, and the son can escape from the family that is not happy at all, but the ending of fare evasion is imprisonment, and the home is the only destination. That unusual morning, I believe their whole family will not forget it in the future: the son who opened the door saw the mess in the house, and the mother came back after a while and started to cook for herself. During the meal, my father also came back in his clean clothes. It is not too much to describe the image of his father at that time as sloppy. The son couldn't help but say, "You look so strange." In any case, the family reunited again. It wasn't nice, but there was warmth, and it wasn't easy. Looking at the feeling of my father eating at the dinner table, I thought, hey, I'm really hungry. Eat enough, life goes on, there is always hope.
A few months later, the father is still working as a cleaner, but his spirit is positive and down-to-earth; the mother is still a housewife, but she and her husband soon witnessed their son's strong musical talent together, how hopeful life is!
The examination room for the entrance examination of the Conservatory of Music was like a concert for their whole family~The music of the beautiful life was played~
