Takashi Yamada and his wacky wife Matsuko, who has no talent for housework, navigate their way through the ups and downs of work, marriage, and family life. Their household includes a sharp-tongued grandmother, a teenage son who wishes he had cooler parents, and a pesky daughter whose loud voice is unusual for someone so small. Even the family dog has issues!

Films are shown in the Modern’s auditorium and capacity is limited to the first 250 people. Tickets are $5 for adults (FREE for members and children under 16) and are available at the Museum’s admission desk or online here.
