Directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda
Dwelling on his past glory as a prize-winning author, Ryota (Hiroshi Abe) wastes the money he makes as a private detective on gambling and can barely pay child support. After the death of his father, his aging mother (Kirin Kiki) and beautiful ex-wife (Yoko Make) seem to be moving on with their lives. Renewing contact with his initially distrusting family, Ryota struggles to take back control of his existence and to find a lasting place in the life of his young son (Taiyo Yoshizawa) – until a stormy summer night offers them a chance to truly bond again.
“No modern filmmaker has as sure a grasp on family dynamics as Hirokazu Kore-eda.” -- Tom Huddleston, Time Out
"Endlessly endearing" -- The Huffington Post
“The director keeps his characters and audience bobbing together over waters that grow deeper and deeper, until it's impossible to distinguish the everyday from the profound.” -- Ty Burr, The Boston Globe
Nominated -- Un Certain Regard Award, Cannes Film Festival
Nominated -- Golden Space Needle Award, Seattle International Film Festival
