Inheritence
A humorous drama about the inheritance disputes that erupt within a once-close family after the death of their elderly mother. The Suzuki family mourns the loss of their mother, but soon, arguments break out over her estate: the eldest and second daughters insist on selling the family home and splitting the proceeds, the younger brother and his wife claim the land and house as their inheritance as the family successor, and the widow of the deceased eldest son joins the fray, souring their previously warm relationships. When a later-discovered will surfaces, objections arise, worsening the rifts. The conflict escalates to the point of litigation, but... Nene Otsuka plays the eldest daughter Reiko, Yami Yumiko plays the second daughter Satomi, and Shinobu Nakayama plays Sanae, the widow of the late eldest son. Akiko Matsumoto takes on the role of a consultant offering inheritance advice from a legal standpoint, while Yota Kawase plays Reiko's husband Seiichi. The film is directed and written by Fujimura Mamiya, known for scripting the 'Care Nin' series, which depicted the realities of nursing care.
