Mother

Just a few years after the end of World War II, the Fukuhara family seeks to recover from the destruction of their dry-cleaner’s. With a nuanced performance, Kinuyo Tanaka dazzles in the role of a mother who, due to family loss, is forced to become the heart of the house, where the fraternity of its inhabitants will prove essential in order to overcome the most painful mournings.
