A slightly conventional story, but it can be moved in simplicity and sincerity;
two completely different families present their faces for people to read carefully.
The film tells the story with the love of parents for their children at the core.
Nonomiya is a successful office worker who is busy with work every day and rarely spends time with his family. Because of his strong personality, he has strict requirements on children. Just like all the well-to-do families who hope to become dragons, they pin their hopes on the next generation, and take hard work and hard work as an example for their children. Six-year-old son Nonomiya Keita is also working hard to gain some approval from his father.
Saiki Yuda is an old plumber, and his main job every day is to accompany his three children. He lives happily with his family. Because he is a plumber in a small village, his literacy is limited. Although the children are elated because their father knows how to repair toys, their living habits are also naturally affected by their father's lack of literacy.
For young children, their parents are everything to them.
On an ordinary day, the hospital where Qing Duo was born suddenly called and told the news that Qing Duo was born with the wrong child, and the eldest son of Saiki Yuda was their biological child! Facing the news that can change the life of two children, and even the fate of two families, director Hirokazu Koreeda tells the inner world of the two parents and the inner world of the children in a deep and mature tone. From anger, confusion, and loss to calm, acceptance, and awakening, Nonomiya has gained a deeper understanding of the word father.
The film has a perfect ending-for the sake of the children, the integration of the two families is so natural. There are some things in life that cannot be forced, especially the relationship between father and son. Problems caused by time, money, and literacy will naturally be solved by trying to balance them with love as the core. This is a gift from Hirokazu Kore-eda to those of us who will or have become fathers.

    For this type of subject, the ordinary director must have gone all the way to the sensational route, but there is no branch. He focuses on the family and family itself, and maintains his usual restrained and delicate narrative level. Perhaps because of his fatherhood, Nonomiya Ryota found out from the camera that his son secretly took a photo of him, and he cried when he saw it. . .

    Although our hardware store owner's child is uglier and less temperamental than the architect father's child, although he can't use chopsticks correctly to drink water, he can bite straws into pieces (all of them are seated correctly), but we are not afraid of falling and laughing. Adaptability is also very good. Strong! We also have rotten dads who fix all kinds of toys!
