"27.4.2013 The center of this new Japanese film is one family of father, mother, grandpa, daughter, son and uncle, portrayed by Tomokazu Miura, Satomi Tezuka, Tatsuya Gashuin, Maya Banno, Takahiro Sato and Tadanobu Asano. The mother is a manga artist, uncle is just somebody who is there occasionally telling strange stories, the daughter is constantly watched by her bigger self and the grandpa is just acting weird, and so on. It's that dysfunctional family once again. Best thing you can say about"
