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.。在未来，地球上所有的化石能源都被消耗殆尽，人类全面进入了太阳能时代。能源公司开始全面的开发和控制太阳，人类社会逐渐向完全依赖太阳能Ⅱ型文明迈进。 但在一次人类科学无法探明的天体活动中，太阳突然消失了。整个世界陷入了黑暗的无政府状态，大面积抢夺生存资源的恶性事件在城市不断发生，富人乘坐宇宙飞船逃离到其他星球，普通人只能留在地球享受世界末日。社恐障碍的天文学自由撰稿人孙炀与素未谋面的废柴邻居陈暮被迫结伴共同踏上末日逃亡之旅，前往传说中人类最后的庇护之所——第四区。一路上他们与形形色色的人匆匆相遇，见到了最残酷的人性与最温情的告别。在无数次的死里逃生之后，两颗寂寞的心开始慢慢靠近，并在残酷的灾难面前逐渐发现了生命的意义……。
