[Machine Translation] The moment of reconciliation between a severed father and son evokes explosive emotions. This moving drama depicts the bond between father and son like "The Departed" and "Field of Dreams". Takeo Nakahara's misogynistic middle-aged man, and Shun Shioya's good son, good husband, and good future father are contrastingly portrayed. Akira Emoto, Makiko Watanabe, Fukumi Kuroda, Yutaka Matsushige, and B. Sato co-star in this film. --Kouji Domoto ( Shun Shioya ) has passed the bar exam and is in training to be a lawyer. He lives with his mother, Mariko (Fukumi Kuroda), and his younger sister, Satsuki (Shuri Shuri), who is a university student, and is about to get married to Rinko Yamabe (Kana Harada), whom he has dated since their school days. His father, Atsushi ( Takeo Nakahara ), has left home to abandon his family in divorce and now lives with his elderly grandmother, Toshie ( Haruko Mabuchi ). Atsushi works at a yakiniku (barbecued meat) restaurant, but he is also a night owl, playing two-timing games with one of the restaurant's part-time workers and one of the restaurant's regular customers. Atsushi does not take proper care of his mother, Toshie, and relies on a day care service, and it is not unusual for her to return home in the morning. Satsuki is unable to forgive Atsushi and sometimes shows her emotions, but Kouji does not show his feelings, but rather seems to half-understand his father's behavior....
