Our Family 2014 (2014)

Other name: ぼくたちの家族, Bokutachi no Kazoku

Description:

"Our Family 2014" centers on a deeply fragmented family who must reunite when their mother, Reiko, faces a sudden and life-threatening illness. Reiko, a woman who recently turned 60, has been experiencing increasing forgetfulness, a condition largely ignored by her husband and two sons. Their oversight turns to shock when Reiko is diagnosed with a brain tumor, giving her only one week to live.

This devastating news forces the scattered family to confront their distant relationships. After sharing her poignant fear that "a family that gets scattered makes me scared," Reiko undergoes a remarkable transformation. She begins to speak her mind without reservation, as if experiencing Alzheimer's, revealing previously unspoken thoughts and emotions. This final week becomes a crucial period for the family to grapple with their past, Reiko's imminent passing, and the true meaning of their bond.
