A sendup of the stereotypical Japanese family: dad is a salaryman jerk, unable to relate to anyone; mom is a hopeless housewife; the older son is a moderate academic success; but the younger son is a rebellious goof-off for whom a tutor must be hired. The tutor, played by the prototypical bad boy actor Matsuda Yusaku, proceeds to blow the entire family apart.

I rate this a couple of points higher than I normally would at face value, because of how ahead of its time it was with its social commentary and sense of humor. It looks and feels more like an early '90s film than one that came out in '83.
