Synopsis: Family and friends of the late Shuzo Miwa have gathered for his annual memorial service, this one marking the seventh anniversary of his passing. Three of his long time friends - married Shuzo Taguchi, married Soichi Mamiya, and widowed Seiichiro Hirayama - have long known and admitted to each other that they have always been attracted to his widow, Akiko Miwa, who they believe has gotten even more beautiful as she has matured. The three friends take it upon themselves to find a husband for the Miwa's now twenty-four year old daughter, Ayako Miwa, who they believe as beautiful as her mother, and who, as a pure innocent, deserves a good husband. Their self-appointed task is despite them knowing that Ayako does not want them to do so. She doesn't want to get married, at least not yet, as she struggles with her traditional sensibilities in post-war modern Japan. Her first priority as she sees it is to take care of her widowed mother, who would be alone if she were to get married. The diff

But l don't think you're unlucky

if you don't have both.

673

00:
56:25,060 -- 00:56:26,732

You can still enjoy life.

674

00:
56:28,020 -- 00:56:30,454

l think that's the case for most couples.

675

00:
56:30,980 -- 00:56:34,734

You think so? Wouldn't you feel sad?

676

00:
56:35,100 -- 00:56:39,696

No, l wouldn't.

l belong to a different generation.

677

00:
56:39,820 -- 00:56:41,014

You're right.

678

00:
56:41,660 -- 00:56:44,936

l'm happy living with my mother.

679

00:
56:45,380 -- 00:56:48,690

l'm very fortunate.

l'd rather keep living this way.

680

00:
56:53,420 -- 00:56:56,218

You love your mother so much.

681

00:
56:58,140 -- 00:57:02,292

Do you think so? We often quarrel.

682

00:
57:02,860 -- 00:57:04,373

That proves that you love her.

683

00:
57:04,980 -- 00:57:08,973

A mother and a daughter wouldn't fight

unless they were very close.

684

00:
57:10,580 -- 00:57:13,890

-You think so?

-Yes, l think so.

685

00:
57:14,980 -- 00:57:21,249

She really is a good mother,

and you're a good daughter, too.

686

00:
57:52,100 -- 00:57:54,773

Young people these days

are really something.

687

00:
57:55,700 -- 00:57:57,611

Some are strange, of course.

688

00:
57:58,220 -- 00:58:01,292

-l think what she says makes sense.

-What?

689

00:
58:01,940 -- 00:58:05,137

Separating romance and marriage.

690

00:
58:06,020 -- 00:58:08,693

l think it's because the world is getting

more difficult to live in.

691

00:
58:08,820 -- 00:58:12,859

And what do you think?

Do you think Ayako likes that man?

692

00:
58:13,100 -- 00:58:15,216

l think so.

693

00:
58:16,060 -- 00:58:18,699

She tried to make excuses, though.

694

00:
58:19,500 -- 00:58:21,934

That was a bit suspicious.

695

00:
58:22,060 -- 00:58:24,528

Who's this Sugiyama she mentioned?

696

00:
58:24,820 -- 00:58:26,776

He's out of the picture.

697

00:
58:29,100 -- 00:58:33,093

-The issue is her concern for her mother.

-Yes.

698

00:
58:33,620 -- 00:58:36,214

-That's easy to deal with.

-How?

699

00:
58:36,460 -- 00:58:39,577

-We'll have the mother marry first.

-Have her remarry?

700

00:
58:39,700 -- 00:58:44,330

Yes, then her daughter will get married, too.

701

00:
58:44,620 -- 00:58:48,374

-You really think that would work?

-lt depends on how we persuade them.

702

00:
58:48,900 -- 00:58:51,095

That may be a good idea.

703

00:
58:51,580 -- 00:58:54,048

lf it worked out, it would be ideal.

704

00:
58:54,180 -- 00:58:59,493

lt will work. Akiko is so pretty.

Who wouldn't marry her?

705

00:
58:59,820 -- 00:59:04,257

Then why don't you ask her

if she's interested in remarrying?

706

00:
59:05,020 -- 00:59:08,456

-Do l have to do it?

-Of course. lt's your idea.

707

00:
59:08,860 -- 00:59:10,737

lt's right that you do it.

708

00:
59:11,620 -- 00:59:14,418

Will you try? Will you?

709

00:
59:14,900 -- 00:59:17,733

-Okay. l'll try.

-Good.

710

00:
59:18,300 -- 00:59:20,609

But l don't have anyone for her.

711

00:
59:23,620 -- 00:59:24,973

How about Hirayama?

712

00:
59:26,900 -- 00:59:27,855

Me?

713

00:
59:29,820 -- 00:59:32,778

Yeah, that could work.

714

00:
59:32,980 -- 00:59:36,097

No way. l can't do that.

715

00:
59:37,180 -- 00:59:39,899

She's the widow of my good friend Miwa.

716

00:
59:40,060 -- 00:59:42,494

Don't be so uptight.

717

00:
59:42,780 -- 00:59:47,251

No, no way. lt's immoral.

718

00:
59:47,700 -- 00:59:51,659

There's nothing immoral about it.

You're a widower and she's a widow.

719

00:
59:51,820 -- 00:59:57,372

l can't be so detached about it.

l don't like to do things like that.

720

00:
59:57,620 -- 01:00:00,134

Well, so much for that.

721

01:
00:01,380 -- 01:00:03,496

Go ahead and ask her anyway.

722

01:
00:03,700 -- 01:00:04,974

Okay.

723

01:
00:05,900 -- 01:00:10,337

Don't you dare mention my name, you hear?

724

01:
00:11,140 -- 01:00:12,459

What a pity.

725

01:
00:13,220 -- 01:00:16,656

You've been a widower all these years

and what do you have to show for it?

726

01:
00:17,260 -- 01:00:20,855

l agree completely.

l wish l were in his place.

727

01:
00:22,220 -- 01:00:27,169

Yeah, l wish l were in his place. l do.

728

01:
00:46,980 -- 01:00:48,698

-Hello, sir.

-Hi.

729

01:
00:58,860 -- 01:01:00,498

-Hi, Dad.

-You're home.

730

01:
01:10,620 -- 01:01:13,737

-Have you had supper, sir?

-Yes, l have.

731

01:
01:14,660 -- 01:01:15,615

How about you?

732

01:
01:16,260 -- 01:01:19,138

l ate already.

l couldn't wait for you all night.

733

01:
01:19,700 -- 01:01:20,894

That's fine.

734

01:
01:39,100 -- 01:01:42,137

What were the scores like?

Did you guess right?

735

01:
01:42,860 -- 01:01:44,134

airish.

736

01:
01:47,740 -- 01:01:49,093

What's the matter?

737

01:
01:49,780 -- 01:01:51,736

-What?

-You seem down.

738

01:
01:53,700 -- 01:01:57,010

-Has something happened?

-No. Nothing.

739

01:
02:03,287 -- 01:02:06,165

-l have to ask you something.

-What?

740

01:
02:06,607 -- 01:02:10,964

l've declined it, but my friends are

trying to play matchmaker.

741

01:
02:11,287 -- 01:02:13,881

-or me?

-No, for me.

742

01:
02:14,167 -- 01:02:16,237

-or you?

-Yes.

743

01:
02:16,487 -- 01:02:17,840

Who's the woman?

744

01:
02:18,007 -- 01:02:22,239

Aside from who the woman is,

what would you think of my remarrying?

745

01:
02:22,767 -- 01:02:26,726

lt all depends on who you're marrying.

Do l know her?

746

01:
02:26,847 -- 01:02:31,682

-Yeah.

-Who? Tell me. Don't hide it from me.

747

01:
02:32,327 -- 01:02:35,444

-l'm not hiding it.

-Then tell me who.

748

01:
02:36,047 -- 01:02:37,002

Yes.

749

01:
02:38,527 -- 01:02:41,121

You know Mrs Miwa, don't you?

750

01:
02:41,287 -- 01:02:45,599

Yeah, she's great. l'd be fine with her.

751

01:
02:46,247 -- 01:02:47,885

So you approve?

752

01:
02:48,087 -- 01:02:50,885

Of course. You declined her?

753

01:
02:51,287 -- 01:02:53,517

Sort of.

754

01:
02:53,647 -- 01:02:56,559

What a stupid thing to do!

755

01:
02:56,847 -- 01:02:58,200

-Really?

-Of course.

756

01:
02:58,407 -- 01:03:01,001

-So you'd accept?

-Of course.

757

01:
03:01,367 -- 01:03:05,963

Dad, l've always hoped

that you'd get remarried.

758

01:
03:06,487 -- 01:03:09,081

Why?

759

01:
03:09,327 -- 01:03:11,716

l'm going to get married someday,

760

01:
03:11,847 -- 01:03:14,566

and if you're still alone,

you'll come live with us.

761

01:
03:14,807 -- 01:03:17,321

My wife wouldn't like that.

762

01:
03:17,767 -- 01:03:18,802

Wretched boy!

763

01:
03:18,927 -- 01:03:21,566

And you wouldn't like it, either.

764

01:
03:21,687 -- 01:03:23,518

So you'd better marry Mrs Miwa.

765

01:
03:23,647 -- 01:03:25,797

-This is a great opportunity.

-ls it?

766

01:
03:25,927 -- 01:03:27,883

ls she really willing to do it?

767

01:
03:28,007 -- 01:03:29,725

l don't know yet.

768

01:
03:29,847 -- 01:03:34,318

You don't know yet?

You need to be more confident.

769

01:
03:35,007 -- 01:03:36,645

So you like the idea?

770
