Fireworks by the Ocean (海の花火, Umi no hanabi) is a 1951 Japanese drama film written and directed by Keisuke Kinoshita.
In Yobuko, Southern Japan, brothers Tarobei and Jinkichi are running a fishing business with two ships of their own.
As the catch is too low to cover the expenses, caused by the corrupt ship captains, their business is threatened with bankruptcy when the investors demand their money back.
After firing the corrupt captains, Tarobei and Jinkichi hire Tsuyoshi and his younger brother Wataru to take over the commands on their ships.
When a potential investor offers a loan on the condition that Tarobei gives his younger daughter Miwa as a bride to the investor's son, Tarobei gets into a conflict over his vow never to marry any of his daughters off for monetary reasons.
