Riko (SHIBASAKI Ko) is living a comfortable life as a writer, when a call from the police brings news of her estranged brother’s death. Childish, selfish and impossible to understand, he was someone Riko had long struggled to forgive. Now, full of resentment, she must travel to Tohoku to deal with the remnants of his life. Just as Riko expected, her brother’s apartment is a chaotic mess filled with unfinished business and reminders of the man who frustrated her for years. But as she clears it out alongside his ex-wife Kanako (MITSUSHIMA Hikari), teenage daughter Marina (AOYAMA Himeno) and young son Ryoichi (MIMOTO Yota), Riko begins to uncover a different story. Beneath her brother’s flaws was a man facing a silent battle, struggling to ask for help and expressing love for his children in his own, imperfect language. Adapted from writer MURAI Riko’s acclaimed non-fiction essay, director NAKANO Ryota’s (Her Love Boils Bathwater) work is a funny, tender and complex portrait of family, forgiveness and the complicated ways we remember those we lose.
