Good Morning

Important things are hard to say.

A witty, family-centered satire that uses children's silence as a mirror to expose post-war Japanese society's anxieties about consumerism, communication, and generational conflict.

Two boys beg their parents for a television set, nagging them until all patience is lost. The parents order the boys to be quiet and the boys do exactly that--refusing to utter a word. The boys' silence ultimately puts the whole neighborhood into turmoil.
