Shūkichi and Tomi are an elderly couple who journey to Tokyo to visit their now-adult children. Once there, they are virtually ignored by their family, being shipped off to a nearby resort. However, one member, the widowed wife of the couple’s second son, treats them with the kindness and respect that their actual offspring lack.
