In Japan, parents’ days are held several times a year for parents to observe classes at school.

In this experimental and moving short film, the exact same conversation about parents’ day is repeated in five different households.

For Noriko Sakaguchi, her job as an English teacher at a junior high school is her life. She always arrives at work early in the morning. She is bad at turning down work, and often works late. She lives a stable life, despite the loneliness of being single.

There are a variety of students in her class.

Hikaru, whose parents both work, is a model student.

Akina is a cheerful girl despite losing her mother.

Kazuma is well-off but unmotivated.

Yukari takes on the household chores because her mother is sloppy.

Ryota is frightened of his violent father.

Tomorrow is parents’ day.

The same conversation unfolds in each household, but each family is different...
