In post-war Tokyo a crusty old landlady (the excellent Choko Iida) reluctantly takes in a stray child for the night. When the father cannot be found she starts to take care of the kid and slowly a bond forms between the two.
This is one of the most crowd-pleasing as well as most moving of all the Ozu's I've seen sofar. It combines the raw poetry of some of the Italian neo-realistic masterworks with a Frank Capra-like goodnaturedness.
If only it didn't have the landlady's moralistic speech at the end, I'd give it four stars.
