Eburi is a 36 year-old man. Nothing enthuses him any more. While being drunk, he promises to contribute a story to a magazine. When he sobers down, he decides to write about the life of a salaried employee like himself who is very ordinary, not particularly talented. The following is his story: In 1949, Eburi gets married to Natsuko. His monthly salary is 8,000 yen and hers 4,000 yen. Therefore, both have to work to support themselves. Eburi has developed a habituIl tendency to pester around when he gets drunk. One year after their marriage, son Shosuke is born. In 1959, Eburi's mother dies in despair of her husband who has become listless due to the several ups and downs of gaining big profits and going bankrupt. His father is still alive and Eburi is enable to find a way to pay his father's debts. He is doubtful if he can make his wife and child happy. Nevertheless, he has somehow managed to survive so far, living in one of the houses at the employee housing quarters. He gives the title "The Elegant Life of Mr. Everyman" to his story of half novel and half essay style. When it is published, it receives the Naoki Literary Prize (the award given in memory of popular writer Naoki Sanjugo). At a party to celebrate his award, he gets drunk and pesters around. Notes The film is based on a novel written in the style of an essay under the same title by Yamaguchi Hitomi, depicting everyday life of a man categorized as "During-the-war Generation" who spent school days during the war and get married to start new life in the struggling post-war era. "Everyman" in the title means an average salaried employee who makes up an overwhelming majority of the city population in Japan, and "The Elegant Life" indicates sarcasm on betterment of the standard of living of ordinary salaried employees accompanied with Japan's economic growth after only a decade from the destroyed post-war period. As depicted in the film, the author Yamaguchi Hitomi was awarded the Naoki Literature Prize for this story. When he established himself well enough to become independent, he quit working as a salaried employee. Director Okamoto Kihachi and the leading actor Kobayashi Keiju belong to the same generation as the author. Exploiting innovative effects such as inserting animation sequences, the film humorously presents compassion of a middle-aged salaried employee. Kobayashi Keiju, who was originally noted for his excellent portrayal of salaried employee, won the best leading actor award of the Mainichi Film Contest for his superb performance in this picture.。如果你的孩子课业优异，偏偏更爱跳舞，你会让他发挥专长，还是勇敢筑梦？ 如果他对音乐、科学、设计、曲棍球…什么都喜欢，却样样不精、成绩普通， 你会让他专精于一，还是继续探索？ 如果他方向茫然，不知道自己擅长什么什么，你是否会让他先安分读书再说？ 或者你认为：孩子才十几岁， 有必要想这多？ 台湾学生在国三之后，学习就得分流。怪的是，孩子成绩越好，可选择的学校越多。 社会不成文的认知是，选择学术高中，出路多；选择职业学校，难回头。 面对未知的明天，十五岁的灵魂，将何去何从？ 立安从小自学组装零件、3D动画，鄙视应试教育，却渐渐在考试中吃到甜头。 雨萱成绩优秀，偏偏更爱演艺，陷入两难抉择。 沛玲怕自己跳舞的兴趣没出路，奋发苦读，却难以提升课业表现。 兴豪音乐才华洋溢，音乐老师却去当了上班族，让他不知： 该“面对现实”，还是继续逐梦…...？。
