Ibo kyoudai

In 1921, Rie, daughter of a simple carriage driver, is introduced as a maid into the household of tyrannic company commander Kito, his two sons Ichiroji and Gojiro, and his sickly wife. Following his wife's death, Kito is forced to marry Rie, who expects a child after he rapes her, and gives birth to a son, Yoshitoshi, and later to a second son, Tomohide. Tomohide, the illegitimate son of Kito's previous marriage, is brutally treated by his brothers, with Haru, the young maid who has fallen in love with him, being fired from her job when she tries to help him. One year after the end of World War II, Tomohide returns home, where he finds Rie and Yoshitoshi living alone, and ultimately asserts his claim to their shared household.
