Viewing Notes

Picking up a year after the previous film, Torajiro returns to cause more heartache for his family and [new] acquaintances. The lovable loser Tora-san visits an old school teacher and his daughter which leads him to discovering the whereabouts of his mother in Kyoto. Things don’t go as planned when he seeks her out leading to more sadness than laughs. Definitely more downbeat but ultimately ends on a humorous note.
