Directed by Masahisa Sunohara

A dispute over the estate of a wealthy family’s patriarch erupts between the son’s widow and her child on one side, and the villain’s niece and brothers on the other. When the villains’ carefully crafted facade is exposed, a monk who sides with the widow puts on the performance of a lifetime. A heartwarming pastoral comedy rich in human warmth.
