Synopsis: An elderly couple journey with their youngest daughter to Tokyo to visit their doctor son and a daughter who runs a beauty salon. The children are too busy to meet with their parents, so they send them to a resort. After a sleepless night in the noisy resort the parents return to Tokyo. Before leaving, however, the mother spends a night with the widow of another son, and the father visits some old drinking buddies. As it turns out, only this daughter-in-law gives the elderly couple the attention and love they need. The couple’s own children soon have cause to regret their neglect, but their emotional ties to their parents have been all but severed by then.
