Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Repast is a 1951 film from Japan, directed by Mikio Naruse.Hatsunosuke and Michiyo Okamoto (Ken Uehara and Setsuko Hara) are a married couple living in a rather run-down neighborhood in the outskirts of Osaka. While Hatsunoke seems blandly complacent with life, Michiyo is dissatisfied. Five years of marriage has left her feeling like a "slave", wondering if cooking and cleaning is all that life has to offer her. She's also homesick for Tokyo as well as resentful of Hatsunosuke's less-than-stellar career at a brokerage firm. Hatsunoke doesn't pick up on this at all, taking his wife for granted.Into this mix sails Hatsunoke's sexy 20-year-old niece Satako. Satako has skipped out on her parents, who are trying to coax her into an Arranged Marriage. Satako is thoughtless and self-centered and soon starts drawing entirely too much attention from her uncle. Eventually a fed-up Michiyo leaves her husband and goes home.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

A Day in Her Apron: Hatsunoke struggles to a certain extent, clattering around in the kitchen as he tries to make tea for a guest. Whatever lesson he might be learning is undercut when practically every other woman in the neighborhood offers to do the domestic chores for him in Michiyo's absence.

Broken Aesop: The story seems to be setting up a pre-Betty Friedan moral that housewifery is slavery by another name, with scenes showing poor Michiyo scrubbing the floors and cooking rice while Hatsunoke is tooling around town with Satako or drinking with his buddies. But in the end she simply realizes that she's happy being his wife. The fact that he came to Tokyo to see her helps, as does the fact that he got a promotion, as does the fact that he's gained enough awareness to say "I know things are hard for you." The last line, as the couple goes home on the train, is Michiyo in narration saying "Happiness for women is to live lives in a such a way" (supporting a man, that is).
