Mokuyoubi no Shokutaku (1992)

The tight housing situation in major cities has caused a dramatic increase in the number of duplex houses. What happens to family life when several generations share this kind of environment? This engaging drama shows one glimpse into a new style of family. The husband and wife have built a duplex to accommodate their eldest daughter and her husband-to-be. But this peaceful arrangement is thrown into chaos when the eldest son, a university student, "rescues" his girlfriend from another man in the midst of their wedding ceremony, just as in the movie "The Graduate." What does the future hold? Can a new and more lasting balance be attained in the lives of the family members? Each episode is filled with the tears and laughter of the changing family in this unsettling time.
