The End of Summer

Kohayagawa Manbei (Ganjirō Nakamura II) runs a small sake brewery in Osaka and wants, at his age, to spend his afternoons as he pleases. His family would rather he look after his health and the failing books, especially once they learn he has been visiting an old mistress from his youth. Yasujirō Ozu follows Manbei, Akiko (Setsuko Hara) and the rest through a household watching him, while he goes on doing what he likes.
