Seiji Hisamatsu
Takao Zushi, Masao Oda
Трогательная история о маленьком Футяне и его сестрёнке Матико. Родители ребят очень бедны, но дети не унывают — они вместе бегают в школу и находят много интересного в жизни. Дети любят литературу и хорошо пишут сочинения. Услышав, что объявлен всемирный конкурс на лучшее сочинение, они решают принять в нём участие и пишут сочинение о том, что их школу хотят снести, а на её месте хотят построить военный завод, о том, как трудно живётся их родителям, как они бедны, но никогда не теряют бодрости духа и надежды. Сочинение ушло в Москву, и ребята с нетерпением ожидают решения. Но Футян не дождался ответа, он простудился и тяжело заболел. А так как на его лечение не было денег, маленький Футян умер, а вскоре пришёл и ответ — сочинению брата и сестры присуждена первая премия.

お茶漬けの味

The Flavor of Green Tea Over Rice
たそがれ酒場
Tomu Uchida
Daisuke Katō, Eijirō Tōno
Takes place in one place, a beer hall, over the course of one evening. Uchida employs this concentration of setting and time to fashion a microcosm for a group portrait of Japan. One by one, the regulars of the bar appear: the pianist who dreams of becoming a composer but has disappeared from the music world after a knifing; a stripper who had planned to be a ballet dancer; an elderly painter trying to make a living at pachinko, and who rues his art having been used for militarist propaganda during the war; a young waitress considering elopement; a colonel turned real estate broker who attempts to rouse the crowd in military song until he realizes the tune has been transformed by marchers in the street into a leftist chant. The "twilight" is more than just a time of day; here, it is a state of being, a suspension between past and present, between the camaraderie of the saloon and the harsh world outside.
