 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Early Summer is a 1951 film from Japan, directed by Yasujiro Ozu.Noriko (played by Ozu's regular lead actress, Setsuko Hara) is a 28-year-old woman working as a secretary in Tokyo. She still lives with her whole family, which includes her father Shukiki and her mother Shige, her doctor brother Koichi (another Ozu regular, Chishu Ryu), Koichi's wife Fumiko, and Koichi and Fumiko's young children, Minoru and Isamu.Noriko being unmarried as she nears her 30th birthday is a concern in the household. Noriko's boss Satake proposes a match with one Mr. Manabe, a bachelor in his early forties. The family eagerly seizes on this idea, but Noriko is reluctant. When Kenkichi, Koichi's partner in practice and an old family friend, pays a visit, Noriko gets an idea of her own.Compare another Ozu film, Late Spring (1949), which also starred Setsuko Hara as a character named Noriko (but not the same character), and has very similar story elements, with the Noriko character being pressured by her family into an undesired Arranged Marriage.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Arranged Marriage: A theme examined in several Ozu works, often with Setsuko Hara playing a character who is none too thrilled with getting pressured by her parents and family into an arranged marriage.

 Bratty Half-Pint: Noriko's awful bratty nephews are walking advertisements for staying single. In one scene, when Koichi brings home a loaf of bread instead of the model train tracks Minoru wanted, Minoru throws a tantrum and kicks the train tracks across the room.

 Confirmed Bachelor: A rare female example in Noriko's friend Aya, who doesn't want to be married and mocks her married friends for the hassles and concerns they have to deal with in married life. She isn't that sincere about it, however. Late in the film when Mr. Manabe drops by and Noriko expresses reluctance to take a look at him after she's decided to marry Kenkichi, Aya says "I may marry who's left."
