The Mamiya household in suburban Kamakura, a bedroom community of Tokyo, is tri-generational: Shukichi and Shige, the family patriarch and matriarch, two of their adult offspring, Koichi and Noriko (the third, Soiji, whose whereabouts are unknown due to the war or if he is even still alive), physician Koichi's housewife Fumiko, and their two precocious young sons. Twenty-eight year old Noriko is happy with her single life, working as a secretary in a Tokyo office, and hanging out with a group of female friends during their free time, they often split in life views by each's own marital status, each side advocating for their own. It's not that she doesn't ever want to get married, but she just doesn't think about it much, that is until now when, partly prompted by her aging maternal uncle's visit, many people in her midst seemingly think she should get married in getting along in years. It becomes known within this circle that Noriko's boss has given her a photograph of a forty year old friend, Manabe, who he thinks would be a good husband for her. Without even asking her what she wants, everyone has an opinion on whether Manabe would make a good match for her, those in the pro camp already having her married off. So when Noriko makes a decision on her own about what she plans for her imminent future without asking anyone for advice, they all react in how that decision affects them personally without considering her own happiness.

Happy Valley

1 hr 38 mins

The town of State College, Pennsylvania the home of Penn State University, has long been known as Happy Valley, and its iconic figure for more than 40 years was Joe Paterno, the head coach of the school's storied football team. His program was lauded not only for its success on the field but also its students' achievements in the classroom, and Paterno took on mythic national stature as "Saint Joe." But in November 2011, everything came crashing down: longtime Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky was charged with 40 counts of child sex-abuse, setting off a firestorm of accusations about who failed to protect the children of Happy Valley. Was Sandusky's abuse an "open secret" in the town? Did Coach Paterno and the Penn State administration value their football program more than the lives of Sandusky's victims? Filmed over the course of the year after Sandusky's arrest as key players in the scandal agreed to share their stories, "Happy Valley" deconstructs the story we think we know to uncover a much more complicated and tragic tale.
