Sachio Kinugasa, a popular novelist, loses his wife of 20 years in a bus accident. With any affection long gone from their marriage, he has to fake the grief everyone expects from him. And then Sachio impulsively offers to care for the children of a working man who lost his wife in the same accident.
Masahiro Motoki (Departures) stars in this gently humorous drama from Japanese writer-director Miwa Nishikawa. The personal transformation his Sachio undertakes is full of joy and sadness, and it is touching to behold.
