synopsis

At the wedding reception of an old friend's daughter, Hirayama congratulates the younger generation on the freedom to choose their partners. However, at the post-wedding drinks, he agrees to let his friends find a suitable match for his daughter Setsuko. Hirayama intercedes on behalf of two young women who defy their parents' plans for an arranged marriage, but when Setsuko's boyfriend makes a surprise call to ask for her hand, he is furious and initially refused to attend the ceremony. However, while staying at an inn in Kyoto, he is persuaded by the owner's daughter to get on a train to see Setsuko in her new home in Okayama.
