Noriko is perfectly happy living at home with her widowed father, Shukichi, and has no plans to marry -- that is, until her aunt Masa convinces Shukichi that unless he marries off his 27-year-old daughter soon, she will likely remain alone for the rest of her life. When Noriko resists Masa's matchmaking, Shukichi is forced to deceive his daughter and sacrifice his own happiness to do what he believes is right.

Ozu's LATE SPRING(1949).When you're exhausted, you should choose the film that touches your heartstring. I felt relieved to see Setsuko's smile. But there's this line by Ryuchishu telling his daughter."I'm already 56, reaching up to the end of life". I will be 56 in 2 months.
