The Groan of the Mountain

New

An elderly businessman, Shingo Ogata, is close to retirement. He is increasingly troubled by the recent deaths of his peers, the fleeting nature of human life, and the strained relationships within his own family – his daughter is leaving her... husband and returning to her childhood home with two young children, while his son openly cheats on his wife. Only his daughter-in-law Kikuko, a quiet, sweet, and loyal woman, somehow brightens the old man's days. "The Groan of the Mountain" is a leisurely and melancholic work, full of philosophical reflections and subtle observations of post-war Japan.
