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.。干了一辈子刑警的刘玉生被任命为见义勇为基金会的秘书长，初到基金会的他对工作多少有些不适应。因耳闻目睹了一些见义勇为的英雄们因为被救者的懦弱和社会保护机构的不完善而饱受冤屈时，他决定为见义勇为基金会聘请律师，著名律师王羽佳的毛遂自荐，记者苏丽丽的挺身而出更让刘玉生对基金会的工作有了全新的认识。但在现实生活中，见义勇为的成本是很高的，一旦被人讹上，这个成本往往能改变一个人的人生。一个中学生在街上救助一个晕倒的老人，反被老人的亲属讹诈，刘玉生主导了这个事件在社会上的讨论，在舆论上和法律上，对这类见义勇为行为给予了支持，使得人们那颗愿意帮助人的心得到了慰藉。在他们的不断努力下，社会空气得以净化，见义勇为基金会发挥的作用越来越大，刘玉生对这份职责也有了全新的认识。。女主自从结婚便一直忍受着来自丈夫的家庭暴力，就连生病也无法看医生住院，整整30年，忍无可忍便选择了离婚，却没有得到儿子和女儿理解，反而被各种指责，此时她已下决心离开这个没有希望的家，但在离开的路上无意间救了男主的父亲，她的命运齿轮开始转动。。
