この映画は、子供達がもうじき死にそうな近所に住む変わり者の老人・喜八(三國連太郎)を観察するところから始まります。
This movie starts from the place where the odd fellow’s aged people who live in the neighborhood children seem to die soon where (Mr Kihachi:Mikuni Rentarou) are observed.

しかし次第に老人と子供達の交流が始まり親しくなります。子供達の心温かな老人との交流がとても観ていて心和みました。
But an exchange of aged people and children starts gradually, and they become familiar. I was seeing the exchange with warm heart of children and aged people, and a heart calmed down very much.
