Just about nothing happens; the father complains lot and treats others like dirt. He yells at the newspaper for god's sake (WHO DOES THAT?!) The kid sucks at violin and most of the kids just hang around and complain.
The only thing mildly interesting that happens was when the maid fell down the stairs while the dad was yelling at the paper. And the dad didn't even care to notice.
The movie probably ended as it began - uneventful.
I can understand it's importance as a "classical" film, but they only way anyone can really like this movie is if they, really really try to analyze it and see some sort of message or hidden meaning to this crap. There isn't much. It's not hard to animate a family setting, and there's nothing special about this film that does that.
At most, it's the equivalent of watching a couple episodes of Big Brother - and that doesn't say much.
