Taeko feels loved. Her new husband raises her little son as his own and the three of them live beautifully in a cosy apartment in a quiet Japanese town. Suddenly, a tragic accident strikes the family, and then the boy's once-missing father appears. Taeko, searching for a way out of her pain and guilt, sets out to rescue this man who is haunted by his troubles. Step by step, she rethinks all her relationships and experiences a liberating journey from loss to a new meaning in life. "From rising Japanese director Koji Fukada, this film is a cross between Michael Haneke's disturbing slice of modern society and Hirokazu Kore-eda's warm look at human imperfection. His new melodrama is full of humour and lightness, while touching on the difficult themes of mourning, guilt, interdependence and misunderstanding. It is a film about love, not only between couples, between parents and children, but also between those who never forget." (Aistė Račaitytė)
