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.

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.。故事发生在70年代的斯德哥尔摩。伊丽莎白的丈夫洛夫是个粗暴的酒鬼。在他第N次揍那可怜的妻子后，她终于无法忍受，带着两个孩子爱娃和斯蒂凡离家出走，投奔哥哥葛兰。 葛兰和他的一群嬉皮士朋友组成了一个小小的团体名为“TOGETHER”，尽管风云变幻的60年代已经过去，曾经是嬉皮运动和学生运动中心的大城市早已平静下来，但在偏远的斯堪地那维亚，真正的“伍德斯托克（Woodstock）一代”才刚刚成长起来。葛兰和他的朋友就正在实践着建立原始的聚居公社的理想，他们像一个大家庭一般生活在一起。在这个“家”里，形形色色的人试图和睦相处。他们中间有愤世嫉俗的犬儒主义者，宣扬环保至上的素食主义者，激进的社会党人，女同性恋者，变性者，暴动分子等等。他们拒绝资本主义制度，排斥电视机和禽肉，宣扬社会主义和自由的爱，整天讨论他们内心中并不怎么相信的理论，沉迷于开放的性关系和改变世...。
