When he sobers down, he decides to write about the life of a salaried employee like himself who is very ordinary, not particularly talented. The following is his story: In 1949, Eburi gets married to Natsuko. His monthly salary is 8,000 yen and hers 4,000 yen. Therefore, both have to work to support themselves. Eburi has developed a habituIl tendency to pester around when he gets drunk. One year after their marriage, son Shosuke is born.

His father is still alive and Eburi is enable to find a way to pay his father's debts. He is doubtful if he can make his wife and child happy. Nevertheless, he has somehow managed to survive so far, living in one of the houses at the employee housing quarters. He gives the title "The Elegant Life of Mr. Everyman" to his story of half novel and half essay style. When it is published, it receives the Naoki Literary Prize (the award given in memory of popular writer Naoki Sanjugo). At a party to celebrate his award, he gets drunk and pesters around. Notes The film is based on a novel written in the style of an essay under the same title by Yamaguchi Hitomi, depicting everyday life of a man categorized as "During-the-war Generation" who spent school days during the war and get married to start new life in the struggling post-war era. "Everyman" in the title means an average salaried employee who makes up an overwhelming majority of the city population in Japan, and "The Elegant Life" indicates sarcasm on betterment of the standard of living of ordinary salaried employees accompanied with Japan's economic growth after only a decade from the destroyed post-war period. As depicted in the film, the author Yamaguchi Hitomi was awarded the Naoki Literature Prize for this story. When he established himself well enough to become independent, he quit working as a salaried employee. Director Okamoto Kihachi and the leading actor Kobayashi Keiju belong to the same generation as the author. Exploiting innovative effects such as inserting animation sequences, the film humorously presents compassion of a middle-aged salaried employee. Kobayashi Keiju, who was originally noted for his excellent portrayal of salaried employee, won the best leading actor award of the Mainichi Film Contest for his superb performance in this picture.。多恩（希瑟·玛塔拉佐 Heather Matarazzo 饰）是一个非常平凡的青春期的女孩，样貌平平，也没有什么拿得出手的特长，扔在人堆里眨眼间就会消失。多恩一直觉得自己简直倒霉透顶，爸爸妈妈将注意力都放在工作和优秀的哥哥姐姐身上，对自己无暇顾及，而哥哥姐姐也觉得有这样一个普通的妹妹很没有面子，而对她冷言冷语。好不容易找到一个心仪的男生，却在鼓起勇气告白之后遭到了无情的拒绝。而反观自己周围的人，好像每一个人都过得比自己要快乐。 终于，忍无可忍的多恩决定离家出走，或许外面的世界会比这里要好得多。然而，事实真的是这样吗？。After a botched robbery, two men take refuge in a remote and lifeless scientific facility, inadvertently awakening a monster within.。
