The Yokoyama family come together to celebrate the memory of their youngest son Junpei, who died fifteen years ago while rescuing a boy from drowning. Over the course of one summer day we follow the family, bound together by love as well as resentments and secrets, as new relatives become acquainted, old stories are retold, food prepared and an elegant graveside ritual takes place. It is with warmth and gentle humour that we follow the complex dynamics between the equally annoying, lovely and precious characters of the Yokoyama family, all masterfully drawn by Kore-Eda.

The Japanese once again demonstrate that in addition to bizarre films, they also excel in those with internal, conversational elements, with seemingly simple plots but significant depth. To beautifully depict a dysfunctional family and yet clearly affirm that family is essential is something not every filmmaker can handle. But Hirokazu Kore'eda handled the subject matter well.
