Overview:	Another heartwarming gem from the creator of the "Tora-San" series, Yoji Yamada. This time around, the story of an ex-murderer on parole trying to make his way home to Hokkaido to meet his wife is handled with poignancy and great sensitivity. Adapted from a short story by the American novelist Peter Hamill, the film was both a huge hit in Japan and a critical success. Unashamedly sentimental, this tragic-comedy represents Yamada at the peak of his creative ability. It also features remarkable performances from every member of its cast: the stoic and Humphrey Bogard-like Ken Takakura, the benevolent Chieko Baisho (Tora-San's young sister), the irresistibly funny Tetsuya Takeda, and the untamable Karoi Momoi. In short, this is one film you cannot afford to miss!
