This film focuses on Koreans living in Japan. The filmmaker’s humanism comes across in the portrayal of a girl living in a shabby tenement, the warmth of a Korean girl she meets, and the friendliness of this Korean girl’s family.

남편이 군에 지원 입대하여 전쟁터로 나갔다. 아내는 남편이 무사히 돌아오기만을 손꼽아 기다린다. 그러나 소식이 없다 남편은 다리에 부상을 입고 요양소에서 요양중이었다. 때마침 그 요양소에는 아내의 친구인 간호원이 근무하고 있었다. 간호원은 어느날 부상병이 떨어뜨린 사진에서 그가 바로 친구의 남편임을 알고 아내에게 연락한다. 그리하여 남편과 아내가 감격의 재회를 한다는 내용의 어용영화이다. 영화제 소개글. 성기는 형이 전쟁에서 전사하자 집에 돌아오지만 아버지는 반대하는 결혼을 한 작은 아들을 끝내 외면한다. 고민하던 성기는 형의 뒤를 이어 군에 지원하고 힘들게 생계를 꾸려가던 아내는 혼자 아이를 낳는다. 전쟁에서 부상을 당한 성기와 병으로 죽어가던 아내가 조선해협을 사이에 두고 통화를 하며 가족간의 화해가 이루어진다. 전쟁에 참전하는 것이 곧 가족의 화합과 사랑의 완성이라는 묘한 등식을 이루는 선전영화이다. 그러나 깔끔한 만듦새는 당시 우리 영화의 높은 수준을 확인케 한다.
Japanese film based on the life of writer Ichiyo Higuchi (1872-1896).
Sulian - Chinese woman who bears child
This film attempts to reconstruct the tension of the Battle of Shanghai through an episode in an understated way, introducting its story in a documentary mode. In the film story, Japan's marine regiment protects Japanese residents and Chinese refugees-women and young children-from rampant street fighting, Shanhai Rikusentai unsparingly uses its first eight minutes for an official-mannered self-justification of the war. From the viewpoint of explaining Japan's military operation,the narration refers to the city s spatial division in sync with maps on screen.

The Whole Family Works, Mikio Naruse's adaptation of a Sunao Tokunaga novel, feels more of a piece with the writer/director's quietly observant and psychologically charged later work. For the Naruse-familiar, it is an anomaly only in its placement within his filmography—indeed, this could be a film made by the elder, stasis-minded Naruse momentarily inhabiting, through a metaphysical twist of fate, his stylistically exuberant younger self. Set in depression-era Japan around the time of the Sino-Japanese War (which the director evokes, during a brief dream sequence, by dissolving between children's war games and actual adult warfare), The Whole Family Works gently observes a family coming apart at the seams. Ishimura (Musei Tokugawa) is the jobless father of nine children.
The film tells about the life of the former vassal of the Ako clan - Fuwa Katsuemon Masatane.
Story of a bandit king.
