''An Inn in Tokyo'' is a 1935 film from Japan directed by Creator/YasujiroOzu.
Kihachi is an unemployed lathe operator and a single dad with two young sons, Zenko and Masako. As the story opens, the little family is in desperate straits. They wander a Tokyo industrial district, with Kihachi desperately looking for work, but there is no work to be had. They are hungry, and sometimes they have to sleep out in the open, and when they do find lodging it's sleeping on the floor of an inn with other homeless people.
Kihachi's luck turns when he runs into Otsune, an old friend from years ago. She is the proprietor of an inn, and she lets Kihachi and the boys stay there, and she finds Kihachi a job. Meanwhile, Kihachi grows acquainted with Otaka, a pretty woman with a daughter named Kimiko who is just as poor and desperate as Kihachi is.
Yasujiro Ozu's last surviving silent film.
