"The family puzzle that will never be completed."

Overview

The five characters are cut into various "twos" and the restrained direction accurately conveys their emotions and relationships. The tension in the long shots in particular could be described as "expertly delicate". The meal scenes, which appear repeatedly, play an excellent role in accentuating the question of the meaning of 'family'.
