Synopsis

Synopsis


Four siblings live happily with their mother in a small apartment in Tokyo. In fact, the children all have different fathers and have never been to school. The very existence of three of them has been hidden from the landlord. One day, the mother leaves behind a little money and a note, charging her oldest boy to look after the others. And so begins the children’s odyssey, a journey nobody knows.

"A delicate, casually heartbreaking film..."

" Kore-eda gets miraculously fresh performance from the children and the film is absorbing, humane and deeply moving."

The Guardian

"In the old Cannes tradition of unabashed art films and humanist-realist dramas..."

"A haunting beautiful film"
