What happens

Un eroe di Tokyo (東京の英雄, Tōkyō no eiyū) è un film del 1935 diretto da Hiroshi Shimizu. Melodramma mescolato con il genere shōshimin-eiga (genere realista incentrato sulle vite quotidiane di persone della classe media) in cui si seguono le vicende, anche tragiche, di una famiglia composita nella Tokyo degli anni '30.
