Ratings from other sources

IMDB 7.6/10

Rotten tomatoes 7.4/10

An ordinary Japanese family slowly disintegrates after its patriarch loses his job at a prominent company 

My ratings 7.5/10

My impressions:

Out of work

That in itself is a shock

After so many years of dedication

What are the next steps

Inform the family immediately

Or keep quiet and pretend

Everything is normal

The decision triggers

Consequences unfamiliar, unknown

For all affected

A coming of age ritual

Each in their own way

A new beginning has been forged

A new foundation has been built

With hope eternal

That this will last, stronger than before
