STORYLINE: 8.5/10 - CHARACTERS: 7.5/10 The beginning of the movie portrays an ideal family life despite their lower social class, however due to choices made by the mother the children suddenly find themselves fending for themselves. The storyline is made that much sadder and heart-warming due to the fact it is a true story that I would advise to take some time to Wikipedia “Sugamo child abandonment case”. The sad fact of why a mother would choose to abandon her children for a man is disgusting in its right but for the children to even go through a death on their own broke me into tears and thoughts of life. ACTING: 6.7 - Yagira Yuuya 10/10 Outstanding performance from the eldest child, Akira (Yagira Yuuya); for every scene he managed to produce the necessary emotions to make you truly believe which is such a rare portrayal of most present actors. LIKED – The scene at the airport was rightly directed in a manner of absence of speech that as a viewer you are drawn in on the trauma that drove the children there. CONCLUSION: You should watch this drama if you enjoy genres such as FAMILY LIFE – LOVE - ABANDONMENT – DEATH – FRIENDSHIP – HOMELESSNESS – HOPE – NON FICTION – SOCIAL CLASS – MELODRAMA.
