Wild Berries

The film is about a family that looks ordinary. A household of four. At first everything seems in order. Then the grandfather dies. The family gathers for the funeral. The son nobody has seen for a long time turns up as well. His name is Shuji. Shuji does not take his life very seriously. His arrival upsets the balance in the house. An old score between the siblings comes out into the open. The father has a secret of his own, since he lost his job and hid it, and a large debt has built up behind the pretence. That is how the film takes the family’s front apart, holding comedy and hurt together. Hiroyuki Miyasako and Miho Tsumiki appear in the hundred and eight minute film, a Japanese production Miwa Nishikawa finished in 2003.
