Content

The film shows the often far too short path from rumour to accusation. A single mother lives with her son Minato in a Japanese suburb and works as a teacher. In recent years, she has often been harassed and accused by the children, who actually lead a peaceful life. One day, a fight breaks out at school. But what begins as an ordinary argument between children develops into something unexpected - with a series of accusations that lead to social division. The media report. When the children suddenly disappear without a trace one stormy morning, the chaos is perfect.

Director Hirokazu Kore-eda examines the social abysses and the challenges of growing up from three different perspectives. The film lasts 126 minutes.
