Marriageable Age

Directed by Kōzaburō Yoshimura

With Machiko Kyō, Eiji Funakoshi, Ayako Wakao, Hitomi Nozoe and Mieko Takamine

The three Matsunami sisters navigate adulthood and the complex social pressures of finding a husband while living under their traditional father’s roof. As they balance their personal desires against the family's obsession with status, their search for "marriageable age" stability is complicated by secret affairs and the cold reality of arranged matches. They must ultimately decide whether to conform to the rigid expectations of their upper-class upbringing or break away to pursue their own independence.
