Meanwhile, his son Thomas, who is staying at their country cottage, initially struggles to adapt—until spending time with the geese helps him forge a deep bond with them. One day, in a twist of fate, to protect the birds from harm, Thomas takes off in the ultralight plane, intending to lead the flock across the North Sea.

Our Home Is Not Our Home



Rosie is a mother of four, and her husband Paul has a stable job. However, due to soaring housing prices, their landlord, like many others, sells the home they depend on for money. Rosie has to pack up everything, drive the family around, and spend every morning dropping the kids off at school before frantically calling emergency accommodation listings—in hopes of finding a place for her homeless family to stay before nightfall. But securing shelter isn’t easy, and when they can’t find a place, the family often has to use fast food restaurant bathrooms to wash up. The children also face judgment and bullying at school because of their homelessness...

They are a simple, hardworking family, yet they must bear the brunt of a social system unable to solve Ireland’s housing crisis. In this crisis, we witness Rosie’s resilience and the love within the family.

The First Supper



Rintaro (played by Sometani Shota) and his sister Miyako (played by Ayase Haruka) return to their hometown for their father’s (played by Masatoshi Nagase) funeral. Before the wake begins, their mother Akiko (played by Yuki Saito) cancels all catered meals and decides to cook herself. As Akiko serves one familiar dish after another, the family recalls the days 20 years ago when new mom Akiko and her older son Shun (played by Koji Yakusho) joined them, and the five of them lived together. They remember the happy times they spent traveling together, as well as the friction that arose from adjusting to their differences—prompting Rintaro and the others to reflect on what family truly means. They also recall how 15 years earlier, Shun left home one night and never returned. Just before the wake ends, Shun returns—with their father’s last words—and decides to unravel the long-buried family secrets tonight...
