Synopsis
What if the child you raised for years turned out not to be your own? That’s the dilemma facing affluent architect Ryota and his wife Midori when they learn that their six-year-old son, Keita, was accidentally switched at the hospital after birth and is not their biological child. In the wake of this startling revelation, Ryota’s sense of fatherhood is shaken to the core as he witnesses both his wife’s enduring devotion to Keita and his own conflicting feelings of nature versus nurture. Now his decision on which boy is truly his son will change the family’s lives forever. Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, acclaimed director Kore-eda Hirokazu’s (Nobody Knows, Still Walking) LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON is an incredibly touching family drama from one of cinema’s greatest masters.
