Tora-san, Wish You Were Here (男はつらいよ お帰り 寅さん, Otoko wa Tsurai yo Okaeri Torasan)[1] is a 2019 Japanese film directed by Yoji Yamada. It is the fiftieth entry in the popular and long-running Otoko wa Tsurai yo series.[2] Shooting began on October 20, 2018 and the film was released on December 27, 2019. [3]
