... who must relocate because the government will be demolishing it. The war is ever-present, but overt propaganda is rare until the bittersweet but patriotic final scene.

This film deals with the clash of the younger and older generations, and familiar tradition with the new, although in this case it's mostly the reluctance to leave home, career, and friends to start over in a new place with a new job. There's a romance threatened by parents refusing to give their blessing, as well as a subplot of a broken family whose patriarch deserted his wife and little boy a decade earlier and whose son is now a test pilot.

This film has some truly touching scenes of how neighbors care for each other in adversity and how everyday people are adversely affected by the war, to the point that the rousing finale may seem more ironic than uplifting, at least in retrospect.
