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.。莉拉（帕特丽夏·阿奎特 Patricia Arquette 饰）崇尚自然，是一位自然主义者，然而她的男友内森（蒂姆·罗宾斯 Tim Robbins 饰）却是个实实在在的教条主义者，这两个性格和生活理念截然迥异的人，他们的爱情能够长久吗？最终，选择放弃自我的那个人是莉拉。 一个名为帕弗（瑞斯·伊凡斯 Rhys Ifans 饰）的男人的出现打破了莉拉和内森之间艰难维系的平衡，帕弗从小就跟随着父亲生活在深山老林之中，外表和内心都和“野人”无异。内森兴致勃勃地要在帕弗身上开始自己的计划，而莉拉却感到了犹豫和矛盾。一边是被压抑的真性情，一边是和恋人多年的感情，莉拉会做出怎样的选择呢？。
