The final 48th film of the popular Japanese film series about the comic misadventures of the unlucky simpleton Torajiro Kuruma, or, in a simple way, Tora-san, the series could have continued even if it had not been for the untimely death of the leading actor, popular actor Kiyoshi Atsumi.A little more than six months after the premiere of the film, Atsumi died after one of the most popular heroes of Japanese cinema was buried with him. For millions of Japanese, the death of the actor, as well as the hero he loved, was equivalent to the fact that a family member left them [2] . The actor has been tormenting the actor for several years in this series, and this is noticeable on the screen.Many of the reasons the main character appears on the screen only occasionally, essentially passing the baton to the younger generation, because for more time we are watching Mitsuo, the nephew of Tora-san. In this series, the viewer again sees the heroine Lily, one of the protagonist’s many friends. Of all his lovers, only the heroine of actress Ruriko Asaoka had the honor to appear on the screen four times (before this in the series: " A man lives hard. Movie 11: Forget-me-not, Torajiro ", " A man lives hard. Movie 15: Umbrella Torajiro " and " A man lives difficult. Film 25: Torajiro - the flower of hibiscus ").

Story
The Tora-san family gathered at the TV, wondering, where did their eternally wandering merchant get lost? And then they see him on the screen! An earthquake occurred in Kobe and the brave Torah-san volunteered to be a lifeguard. Later, another type of rescue operation awaits him, when his nephew Mitsuo, shocked by his bride Izumi, who announced his engagement to someone else, appears at her wedding, destroys her, and then runs away to the southern island of Amamioshima . Here he meets singer Lily. She does not recognize him, because when she saw the guy for the last time - he was still a little boy. Lily brings Mitsuo to her home, where, as it turns out, Tora-san has already settled. Uncle is diligently trying to reconcile Mitsuo in love with his bride Izumi. And soon he succeeds.
