"Ya... old people who were no longer useful were quickly thrown away in the mountains as a rule of life for humans. In the past, humans lived within the rules of the local community. Isn't that great wisdom for survival! Ankichi is an elderly man who is often incontinent due to his limited mobility. His eldest daughter Tokuko, who is taking care of him, suffers from manic depression due to exhaustion from caring for her. Feeling reluctant to be taken care of by her daughter, Yasukichi goes to a nursing home... Impressive masterpiece!
