One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
Japanese auteur Hirokazu Kore-eda tells the story of a struggling novelist, now working as a private detective, attempting to reconcile with his aging mother, ex-wife and 11-year-old son. As a typhoon passes, they end up spending the night together in his mother’s Tokyo apartment, but things don’t go particularly well for this fractured family.
"A beautiful story from Japanese cinema, a drama with a pinch of humor, about the inexorability of life. Yet, despite touching on delicate and sorrowful themes, the movie manages to have a light and humane touch."
