Eburi is a 36 year-old man. Nothing enthuses him any more. While being drunk, he promises to contribute a story to a magazine. 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. In 1959, Eburi's mother dies in despair of her husband who has become listless due to the several ups and downs of gaining big profits and going bankrupt. 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.。高雄是日治時期的軍事重地，也是二二八事件中遭受嚴重軍事鎮壓的地區。本片尋訪經歷過二戰的台籍日本兵、二二八事件雄中自衛隊成員，及二二八事件受難者遺族，他們走過被噤聲的年代，恐懼及創傷如影隨形，成為一生都無法卸下的歷史馱負，鏡頭緩緩隨著他們的日常身影流動，他們從日常中撿拾記憶，還原歷經歷史劫難的生命軌跡，從被迫參戰的無奈際遇，到失去親人又背負標籤、跌宕波折的成長處境，沒有悲憤控訴，只有娓娓傾吐，讓他們重新擁有屬於自己的個體傷痕記憶。 深植在他們身體裡的記憶，也留存在時間、空間的縫隙中，本片亦靜靜凝望散落高雄各地的軍事遺址，見證著工兵的血淚與青春；當倖存者逐漸凋零，就以訴說及凝視抵抗遺忘，記憶猶如在這塊土地上努力生長的野番茄，結出強韌的生命果實，展現堅毅不拔的姿態。。
