Eburi is a 36 year-old man. Nothing enthuses him any more. While being drunk, he promises to contribute a story to a magazine. 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.。常浩琛、殷善美夫妻是一个典型香港中产家庭，有车有楼也有一对聪明可爱小朋友，十分令人羡慕。琛经营电脑生意，努力赚钱，把心力时间都押在生意之上。而美一方面担当贤妻良母的角色，另一方面则背着琛又炒楼，又搞美容生意，投资有道。可惜好景不常，经过金融风暴、科网爆破、911事件等令琛与美的生意一落千丈，但琛因为不想美担心，竟半句也不说，独自死撑下去。而美亦一心想撑至最后底才告诉丈夫，结果一天，双方的经济危机同时爆破！ 美在经济困难的日子曾向契妈娇借钱，破产后，娇的女儿尹小玲认为母亲的血汗钱被美所骗，对琛夫妇恨之入骨，誓替母亲讨回旧债。玲是一名女CID，性格豪爽，表面上是男人头差婆，但骨子里恨嫁非常，直至玲遇上了风流倜傥的律师─伍文昌。 当破产的日子开始后，琛一家人需重新适应新生活，首先大屋搬细屋，接着是琛去重新打工。琛赫然发觉人浮于事，且不乏大学生、硕士之流，琛...。還在新婚的他是名頂尖的合約殺手，完成這次的目標後赫然發現居然是名刑警？逃亡之餘，他必須查證過去以保全未來，並挽救妻子的性命…。
