Four children are left to fend for themselves in a Tokyo apartment by their scatterbrained and selfish mother, with their well-being and survival dependant on the oldest son. Filmed over the course of a year, Kore-eda’s heartbreaking study of childhood destroyed by neglect and societal indifference boasts superb naturalistic performances. Lead actor Yuya Yagira became the youngest-ever winner of the Best Actor award at Cannes Film Festival.
