The Ueki family may not be wealthy, but smiles are never in short supply. The father is awarded prize money for 25 years of service to his workplace, but has it stolen on the way home from the ceremony... This refreshingly heartwarming masterpiece carries on the tradition of the Shochiku Ofuna-style "little citizen" films, and Nakamura's reliably proficient direction elicits superb work from his crew and star-studded cast.
