Seibei Iguchi leads a difficult life as a low ranking samurai at the turn of the nineteenth century. A widower with a meager income, Seibei struggles to take care of his two daughters and senile mother. New prospects seem to open up when the beautiful Tomoe, a childhood friend, comes back into he and his daughters' life, but as the Japanese feudal system unravels, Seibei is still bound by the code of honor of the samurai and by his own sense of social precedence. How can he find a way to do what is best for those he loves?

Yoji Yamada captures the "twilight" of the samurai era in the first entry of his "Samurai Trilogy". The change of a system happens even in a remote Japanese village. The director uses a naturalistic, quiet style to portray the story of our main protagonist.
a different prospective on life. what it means to say 'i lived like one should live life'? who has the right answer to how one should live. is money the goal? women? there is no one right answer.
Very good movie; the film addresses many themes that are present in Harakiri. I also really liked the music and the actors.
The original title of the film is Tasogare Seibei.
