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.。诺尔（沃拉娜特·旺萨莞 Woranuch Wongsawan 饰）是一名陪酒女朗，整日混迹于灯红酒绿的夜店欢场之中，虽然身边熙熙攘攘，但诺尔感到非常的孤独，她渴望平静的生活，渴望一份纯真的感情。没事的时候，诺尔喜欢听一档名为《流金岁月》的电台节目，只有在滋滋跳动的电台频率之中，诺尔才能得到一丝短暂的安慰。 宋巴特（派特察泰·王卡姆劳 Petchtai Wongkamlao 饰）是一位出租车司机，每天驾驶着自己的一辆小车，穿梭在大街小巷。虽然汽车的后座上每日都会载许多的客人，但大部分人都不会和宋巴特讲话，车内唯一的响声，就是车载广播里所传出的声音。这一天，诺尔坐上了宋巴特的车，两颗孤独的心在深夜的曼谷街头汇聚。。
