Jubilation Street
1944 · Movie · 73 min. · Japan
A few residents on a street in Tokyo are supposed to be evacuated because of the war. Individual stories come into focus in a densely woven portrait of neighbours young and old: a woman still mourning her husband, who disappeared ten years earlier; the elderly owner of a bathhouse who does not want to leave his property under any circumstances; a young woman whose family does not approve of her love for a young pilot.
