Description
The year is 1958: the postwar depression has ended and Japan is embarking on a period of tremendous growth, symbolized by the construction of the awe-inspiring Tokyo Tower. But under its shadow, in a working class neighborhood known as shitamachi, many are still struggling to get by. This nostalgic drama features a strong ensemble cast, and took home no less than 12 awards from the 2006 Japan Academies, including Best Picture, Director, Actor and Screenplay.
