As humans, we contain multitudes and we want to resist any attempt to put us into a box. But what happens if you're asked to choose something which you'll cherish for the rest of your life - would you let go of all the times when you were sad, angry, bitter, hypocrite and a bad human being?

In fact, I think the characters are universal - everyone can find at least one person (or their memory) here that they'll relate to.

That's a lot more meaningful than looking back at the past". + +Rather than giving you answers, Kore-eda takes you on a journey of discovery with questions.
