Plot:	After an argument with their parents in which two boys are told to shut up, the boys won't talk to anyone at all. When the neighbors' morning greeting goes unanswered, they assume that the mother is angry with them and a neighborhood quarrel begins.
Overview:	This film, one of Ozu's most popular, resembles an earlier masterpiece, "I Was Born But..." (1932). Two little boys live with their parents in a close-quartered suburban neighborhood. There is a misunderstanding among the next door neighbor ladies. Meanwhile, after an argument with their parents--they want a TV set, and the father refuses to buy one--the boys are told to shut up. Taking their parents at their word they shut up completely, won't talk to anyone, not even the neighbors, who, finding the customary morning greeting ("Ohayo!") unanswered, at once assume that the mother is angry with them and the neighborhood quarrel begins. Ozu constructs a gentle, witty comedy of manners out of everyday life to underlie a though-provoking theme: what exactly constitutes the basis of true communication in society?
