From internationally acclaimed director Hirozaku Kore-eda, comes an adaptation of Yoshida Akimi's best-selling graphic-novel. "Irresistible.

Deeply charming and quietly moving."  Dave Calhoun (TIME OUT) Three twenty-something sisters - Sachi, Yoshino and Chika - live together in a large old house in the seaside town of Kamakura. When they learn of their estranged father's death, they decide to travel to the countryside for his funeral.
