Older brother

1977 · 1 season

A quiet, patient character study of ordinary lives, where small emotional choices carry weight and restraint is felt more than drama.

Genres
Drama
Overview
The series tells about the life of construction foreman Eiji and his sister. Both have a love interest: she has a boyfriend, and he has a young girl. The sister is thinking about marriage, and the brother has too strict principles to recklessly rush into the abyss of passion.
