PLOT
The trials, tribulations, and joys of raising a child. The film follows the everyday events of a family with one boy, coming up to his second birthday, interspersed with occasional thoughts of the child. They initially live in an apartment building, and then move into the doting grandmother's house. Told alternately from the vantage point of a two-year-old boy and his fretting first-time parents, this bright and simple story defines the joys of life in the way the lovable toddler endlessly investigates the world. Looking through little Taro's eyes, we understand the fascination with climbing stairs and the mysteries of the man on the moon. Only Taro's aged grandmother, whose doting ways come into conflict with her daughter-in-law's child-rearing rules, grasps life as zealously as the boy does. Ichikawa's sweet and funny family portrait touchingly illustrates both the impact of the generation gap and the strength of familial bonds.
