The first segment, Hiyameshi, follows the younger son of a modest family, known as cold rice, who strives for an independent life while surviving on hand-me-downs and giving up on his dream girl. In Osan, carpenter Santa travels across Japan searching for his missing wife, facing complications when he encounters other men who might know her whereabouts. Finally, Chan portrays Jukichi, a poverty-stricken brazier maker driven to drink as modern times devalue quality craftsmanship. Jukichi must decide whether to join a modern company started by former comrades or maintain his pride as an artisan to support his family. This compelling film beautifully weaves themes of dignity, love, and survival.
