Trama

When the patriarch of the Toda family suddenly dies, his widow discovers that he has left her with nothing but debt and married children who are unwilling to support her--except for her most thoughtful son, just returned from China.

After her husband dies, a mother and her daughter move in with the eldest son. His wife finds this arrangement disagreeable, precipitating several moves by the mother & daughter to the homes of others in the family, while quarrels ensue. Eventually, the second son returns from residence in China, upbraids his siblings for their treatement of the widow & daughter, and takes the duo settles with the second son in China.
