Hirokazu Koreeda

When the behavior of her son Minato changes, Saori holds his teacher Michitoshi responsible. She storms into the school and demands an immediate explanation. But as the story unfolds, the truth slowly comes to light.

A beautiful film by director Kore-eda Hirokazu (Shoplifters), which won the Best Screenplay award and the Queer Palm at the Cannes Film Festival.

★★★★ – The Guardian: “Japanese director Kore-eda offers a deliberately dense but ultimately hopeful examination of how to negotiate family dysfunction with intelligence and humanity.”
