I have seen a similar Korean film about wanting my wife to die before, and it was quite tear-jerking. This film has a similar theme. The difference is that this film doesn't have so many renderings of death. The same is unforgettable, and even put on the clothes of the deceased wife, went to see his wife's favorite young son, learned the dance couch that his wife loved, and finally died in front of Mount Fuji dancing on the couch. The family did not understand the father, but two outsiders gave the answer. Perhaps, my father died like this is a happy.
The film also portrays the generation gap between parents and children well. The two children in Berlin thought their mother didn't love them, while the younger son in Japan complained that his parents didn't come to see him. In the end, it's not thankful, but fortunately there is each other.
