影片可視為已故名導森田芳光1981年作品《如此這般》(Something Like It) 的延續篇。《白免糖女孩》松山研一飾演一名日本傳統技藝落語的學徒，雖技不如人但態度認真。他奉命尋找失蹤多年的師兄重踏台板，本來早已放棄落語的師兄竟然從這名平凡師弟身上尋回對落語表演的熱情。首次執導的杉山泰一是森田芳光多年的得力助導，這次打正旗號向恩師致敬，更率領原班演員夥拍新一代曾參演森田芳光作品的松山研一及《律政英雄2015》北川景子合演續篇。其中細心影癡一定留意到北川景子戲中一套戲服與十年前她演出森田的《間宮兄弟》一樣，單看導演心思和班底已經感動絕倫。

After director Morita Yoshimitsu passed away in 2011, his longtime assistant director Sugiyama Taiichi and many actors whom he had worked with came together to make a sequel to Morita’s 1981 debut film Something Like It. The cast of the original film are joined by Matsuyama Kenichi, who starred in Morita’s last film Train Brain Express, and Kitagawa Keiko, who made her acting debut in Morita’s The Mamiya Brothers. In this light-hearted homage, Matsuyama is Shinden, an overly serious, ineffectual performer of the traditional comedic storytelling art of rakugo. His teacher sends him on a mission to find senior performer Shintoto who has quit rakugo in favor of a more carefree life.
