Just back from the latest Japanese movie (at least in the “moviemento” cinema nearby). A really sad drama done by fabulous actors (mainly four kids). Although the movie itself states in the beginning that only the core of the plot is based on a real story we could imagine that the whole thing could be like that in real life.

A mother leaves her four children alone in an apartment and does not come back. It is not the first time but this time it seems as if the mother does not come back. The children try their best to suvive as good as they can. movie homepage (Don't read the long description. It contains spoilers.)

If you are interested in the Japanese mind and want to see a movie about the average Japanese people then this might be the right movie for you. Do not expect to see the typical fancy crazy city scenes from other Tokyo movies.
