About

After suffering through a long and unsuccessful series of fertility treatments, Satoko and her husband Kiyokazu make the decision to adopt a child. Six years after adopting a boy they named Asato, Satoko has quit her job to concentrate fully on her husband and son. The family lives a peaceful existence until the arrival of a stranger.
A quiet domestic life shatters when a biological mother reappears to claim the child she once abandoned. This piercing portrait of motherhood examines the thin, fragile line between legal guardianship and blood ties.
