Brothers and Sisters of the Toda Family

Brothers and Sisters of the Toda Family (戸田家の兄妹, Toda-ke no kyōdai) is a 1941 Japanese drama film directed by Yasujirō Ozu.

[1][2] The upper-class Toda family celebrates the 69th birthday of their father Shintarō with a commemorative outdoor photoshoot.

The mother and Setsuko disharmonise with Shin'ichirō's wife Kazuko and go to stay with Chizuko, the married eldest sister.

However, Setsuko's plans to go out to work are met with vehement objections from Chizuko, who finds the idea disgraceful since they are an upper-class family.

Shōjirō arrives in time for the family dinner and is shocked to learn that his mother and Setsuko are staying alone by the sea.
