Like Father, Like Son PG
Hard working family man, Ryota, and his wife Midori, receive an unexpected phone call from the hospital. Their 6-year-old son is not ‘their’ son - the hospital gave them the wrong baby. Ryota is forced to make a life-changing decision, to choose between ‘nature’ and ‘nurture.’
Winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes Film Festival 2013, from the acclaimed director of Still Walking and I Wish.
