When no one else will take him, a widow reluctantly shelters a lost boy for the night. Discovering that he was abandoned by his impoverished father, she's willing to do the same until she makes a pact with the boy. Regarded by many as one of the world's finest directors, and renowned for his most 'Japanese' of styles, Ozus film is an exquisitely perceptive drama.
