剧情：故事描寫一名母親獨力把兩名兒女撫養成人，不惜從事黑市買賣，甚至出賣肉體，但兒女們卻毫無感激之心，母親最後只好以自殺了卻殘生。 木下惠介是一位善於抒情的導演，在他的作品中往往能看到優美的畫面，聽到怡人的配樂，然而本片卻一反其一貫風格，呈現出別具一格的風貌。在本片中，木下導演用寫實的筆觸描繪出一段殘酷的故事。劇中的主人公是一位包受戰亂之苦的婦女，而她的兩名子女卻半點不體諒母親的苦心，自私而無情地把母親逼上了絕路。影片的畫面好像新聞報導片一樣冷靜而不帶修飾，反而營造出令人震懾的衝擊效果。影片入選1953年電影旬報評出的年度十佳作品榜，出演春子的望月優子獲得了每日電影評選的最佳女主演獎。

Plot：Alternating in time, between the end of World War II and 1953, Haruko, a widow, does what she can to keep her daughter Utako and son Seiichi safe, fed, and sheltered. By 1953, it's clear that the children, as they enter adulthood, want little to do with their mother. They have a different view of their childhood and her sacrifices: in their eyes, she abandoned them to live a life of pleasure. The self-pitying Haruko is sure her life was one of pain and humiliation, for her children. As Seiichi, now a medical student, announces his plans to let a wealthy man adopt him, and as Utako considers the offer to go away with a married man who is her English teacher, what is left for Haruko?
