Event Description:
"Like Father, Like Son" is an incredibly moving film exploring the emotional bonds of family and fatherhood. Ryota has a loving, close-knit family with his wife Midori and the son they've been raising for 6 years, but is thrown into emotional turmoil when he discovers that his son was mistakenly switched at birth at the hospital. They are faced with the impossible decision between their natural born son, or the boy they have loved. Which would you choose? From the acclaimed Japanese director Kore-eda Hirokazu & winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. "Authentic and heartwarming - a piercing, tender poem about the bittersweet ebb and flow of paternal love." --The Telegraph (UK)
