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. In 1959, Eburi's mother dies in despair of her husband who has become listless due to the several ups and downs of gaining big profits and going bankrupt. 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.。故事承续电影《我们的故事1》，水灾过后，招弟正式继承了四叔的农场执照，在改邪归正的阿龙帮助下，小规模的开始经营农场。此时新加坡由于经济开始起飞，民众的思想起了变化...奥斯曼儿子阿末迷上西洋摇滚音乐，但保守的奥斯曼却视其所组的乐团为魔鬼，两父子因此起了激烈冲突，阿末愤而离家出走，从此颓废堕落，奥斯曼感叹时代巨变所引起的代沟。另一边厢，招弟的小弟阿喜却因与印度女友异族相爱，导致双方家长因为种族与文化的分歧为由，强烈反对其婚事，幸好奥斯曼以及招弟从中斡旋，闹出不少趣事。1977年，政府大肆征用土地，许多乡村因此都被逼迁。在得知拥有农业执照的土地将可能获得巨额赔偿，阿坤开始觊觎招弟可能获得的赔偿金，而召开家族会议，以莫须有的罪名加诸在招弟以及阿龙头上，希望赶走他们，自己取得巨额赔偿。身体状况大不如前的招弟，面对阿坤无理的指责，究竟能否保住自己辛苦打造的农场所获得的赔偿金？一家大小将何去何从？时代变了，人心也变了。乡材逐渐消失了，人情味还在吗？。
