從人類的足跡踏出太陽系，開始在地球以外的行星殖民之後，宇宙間慢慢出現了許多獨立的行星國家。為了維持基本秩序，並避免星際間的摩擦惡化成宇宙戰爭，各獨立行星政府達成協議，成立了類似於聯合國的組織－「宇宙行星聯合」，以保障全人類的安全、自由與和平。當各星系在「宇宙行星聯合」有效的維持之下逐漸繁榮，隨著而來的就是日趨明顯的經濟交流。為維持經濟公平原則以確保各方面利益，宇宙行星聯合特別設立了GOTT （Galactic Organization of Trade and Tariffs銀河商業關稅機構），作為監督各行星國家間關稅與貿易交流，並查緝相關不法行為的執行機構。而GOTT中擁有各種特殊能力、兩人一組負責在最前線執法的特警，就稱為ES MEMBER。 星歷328年 （西元二十五世紀），人類建立第一個殖民行星三百多年後，正是ES member大活躍的時代。...。Eburi is a 36 year-old man. Nothing enthuses him any more. While being drunk, he promises to contribute a story to a magazine. When he sobers down, he decides to write about the life of a salaried employee like himself who is very ordinary, not particularly talented. The following is his story: In 1949, Eburi gets married to Natsuko. His monthly salary is 8,000 yen and hers 4,000 yen. Therefore, both have to work to support themselves. Eburi has developed a habituIl tendency to pester around when he gets drunk. One year after their marriage, son Shosuke is born. In 1959, Eburi's mother dies in despair of her husband who has become listless due to the several ups and downs of gaining big profits and going bankrupt. His father is still alive and Eburi is enable to find a way to pay his father's debts. He is doubtful if he can make his wife and child happy. Nevertheless, he has somehow managed to survive so far, living in one of the houses at the employee housing quarters. He gives the title "The Elegant Life of Mr. Everyman" to his story of half novel and half essay style. When it is published, it receives the Naoki Literary Prize (the award given in memory of popular writer Naoki Sanjugo). At a party to celebrate his award, he gets drunk and pesters around. Notes The film is based on a novel written in the style of an essay under the same title by Yamaguchi Hitomi, depicting everyday life of a man categorized as "During-the-war Generation" who spent school days during the war and get married to start new life in the struggling post-war era. "Everyman" in the title means an average salaried employee who makes up an overwhelming majority of the city population in Japan, and "The Elegant Life" indicates sarcasm on betterment of the standard of living of ordinary salaried employees accompanied with Japan's economic growth after only a decade from the destroyed post-war period. As depicted in the film, the author Yamaguchi Hitomi was awarded the Naoki Literature Prize for this story. When he established himself well enough to become independent, he quit working as a salaried employee. Director Okamoto Kihachi and the leading actor Kobayashi Keiju belong to the same generation as the author. Exploiting innovative effects such as inserting animation sequences, the film humorously presents compassion of a middle-aged salaried employee. Kobayashi Keiju, who was originally noted for his excellent portrayal of salaried employee, won the best leading actor award of the Mainichi Film Contest for his superb performance in this picture.。
