Plot:	A woman lives with her widowed father, refusing to marry until he selflessly pushes her into it. Deeply troubled, she nonetheless gives into marriage; and she leaves for her honeymoon, her father returns home and faces his loneliness...
Overview:	Hailed by Donald Richie as "one of the most perfect, most complete, and most successful studies of character ever achieved in Japanese cinema", "Late Spring" tells the story of a young woman who, somewhat past marriageable age, lives with her widowed father. She keeps refusing to marry until she is told by her father that he himself wishes to marry. Deeply disturbed, but believing that this is what he wants, she says nothing and in the end, gives into marriage. The father, in fact, has no intention of marrying. After his daughter has left for her honeymoon, he returns home and faces his loneliness, most probably for the rest of his life.
