What Always: Sunset on Third Street 2 is
A struggling writer shares a rooftop sliver of Tokyo with an auto-repair family, a tavern keeper, and her burlesque alter ego. Long days at the candy store leave little time for novel writing or romance, and a demanding cousin arrives to complicate the already cramped quarters. One more neighborly comedy about failed artists and the neighbors who enable them.
