A live-action adaptation by Kore-eda Hirokazu (Like Father, Like Son) of Yoshida Akimi's eponymous 2013 Manga-Taisho (cartoon grand prize)-winning manga. It depicts the emotional journeys of four sisters after the death of their father, with beautiful cinematography that captures the four seasons in Kamakura. Officially selected for the Competition section of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.
Sachi (Ayase Haruka), Yoshino (Nagasawa Masami), and Chika (Kaho), three sisters living in a seaside town, receive word of the death of their father, who they have not heard from for years.
