劇情簡介：

Brash, loudmouthed and optimistic, Kikujiro hardly seems the ideal companion for little Masao, who is determined to travel long distances to meet his mother, whom he has never met. The journey of the unlikely pair soon turns out to be a whimsical story of laughter and heartbreak, with a wide array of surprises and odd ball characters met along the way. The story is based on the childhood experiences of Kitano and his father.
小正男決心去很遠的地方找從沒見過的媽媽。性急、大嗓門、樂天派的菊次郎怎么看也不像小正男的理想伙伴。看似不可能走在一起的兩個人，旅途很快就變成了充滿歡笑和心碎的奇異故事，一路上碰到了許多奇事和古怪的人。這個故事基于北野武和父親在童年的經歷。
