Keiji and Ryoichi have recently moved house and now have to find their way around their new neighborhood. No easy feat for kids. School is boring and so they prefer to skip it. What's more, they don't get on at all with the other children at first and are constantly arguing. Gradually, however, normality returns to everyday life, but there are still conflicts: the brothers are particularly shocked when they find out that their father is making a fool of himself in front of his superior.

Ozu wonderfully succeeds in showing – through the eyes of children – society in Japan during the interwar period. In addition to this portrait of society, it is above all a film about childhood and childlike innocence. This silent gem is one of the most beautiful films about childhood in the big city.
