Plot

A mother suspects a teacher of mistreating her son. The story is retold from three viewpoints, each changing what we think happened.

Sinekatalog’s take

Kore-eda's drama retells one school incident from three viewpoints, in a Rashomon-like structure. Gentle but unsettling, it slowly reveals how assumption and silence shape what we see.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
