On the birthday of Tomiko (Kazuko YOSHIYUKI), her husband, Shuzo (Isao HASHIZUME), asks her what she wants as a memorial gift. She answers, “A divorce.” Their children are much thrown into a state of panic to hear this news of separation. Amid the sudden tumult of life, each member of the family begins to publicize respective grievances. (Shochiku)

A cool show, for which Yamada brought in the actors who were in Tokyo Family (that film was better, though). This is more of a glimpse into the sort of normal family where things are relatively fine, except that they're not actually fine, except that they are. In other words, it simply has its flaws and the viewer can see them and think it's the same everywhere. So the good thing about the film is that an older viewer can relate to it. Otherwise, it's an average film that has great end credits. It's a family movie for a quiet evening or afternoon.
