When he sobers down, he decides to write about the life of a salaried employee like himself who is very ordinary, not particularly talented. The following is his story: In 1949, Eburi gets married to Natsuko. His monthly salary is 8,000 yen and hers 4,000 yen. Therefore, both have to work to support themselves. Eburi has developed a habituIl tendency to pester around when he gets drunk. One year after their marriage, son Shosuke is born. In 1959, Eburi's mother dies in despair of her husband who has become listless due to the several ups and downs of gaining big profits and going bankrupt. His father is still alive and Eburi is enable to find a way to pay his father's debts. He is doubtful if he can make his wife and child happy. Nevertheless, he has somehow managed to survive so far, living in one of the houses at the employee housing quarters. He gives the title "The Elegant Life of Mr. Everyman" to his story of half novel and half essay style. When it is published, it receives the Naoki Literary Prize (the award given in memory of popular writer Naoki Sanjugo). At a party to celebrate his award, he gets drunk and pesters around. Notes The film is based on a novel written in the style of an essay under the same title by Yamaguchi Hitomi, depicting everyday life of a man categorized as "During-the-war Generation" who spent school days during the war and get married to start new life in the struggling post-war era. "Everyman" in the title means an average salaried employee who makes up an overwhelming majority of the city population in Japan, and "The Elegant Life" indicates sarcasm on betterment of the standard of living of ordinary salaried employees accompanied with Japan's economic growth after only a decade from the destroyed post-war period. As depicted in the film, the author Yamaguchi Hitomi was awarded the Naoki Literature Prize for this story. When he established himself well enough to become independent, he quit working as a salaried employee. Director Okamoto Kihachi and the leading actor Kobayashi Keiju belong to the same generation as the author. Exploiting innovative effects such as inserting animation sequences, the film humorously presents compassion of a middle-aged salaried employee. Kobayashi Keiju, who was originally noted for his excellent portrayal of salaried employee, won the best leading actor award of the Mainichi Film Contest for his superb performance in this picture.。窘迫的生活让单亲母亲萨拉（劳伦·格拉汉姆 Lauren Graham 饰）不得不带着两个孩子德鲁（迈尔斯·赫尔泽 Miles Heizer 饰）和安泊（梅·惠特曼 Mae Whitman 饰）搬回了父母位于伯里克的老房子里，在这里等待着她的，是她许久未曾谋面的兄弟姐妹们以及他们生活中的一大堆烦心事。 亚当（彼得·克劳斯 Peter Krause 饰）的儿子马克斯（马克斯·伯克霍尔德 Max Burkholder 饰）刚刚被查出身患重病；克罗斯比（戴克斯·夏普德 Dax Shepard 饰）的女友凯蒂（玛格丽特·莫罗 Marguerite Moreau 饰）在生儿育女方面正不断的向他施加着压力；茱莉亚（埃丽卡·克里斯滕森 Erika Christensen 饰）尽管事业有成，却无法讨得女儿西德尼（Savannah Rae 饰）的欢心。在接二连三的麻烦而矛盾之中，萨拉能否寻找到能够温暖她内心的亲情？。
