Kore-eda Hirokazu, the globally acclaimed director of Nobody Knows, Still Walking, and Maborosi returns with another family—one thrown into torment after a telephone call from the hospital where the son was born six years before. Ryota has earned everything he has by his hard work and believes nothing can stop him from pursuing his perfect life as a winner. With the call from the hospital, he is forced to make a lifechanging decision, between ‘nature’ and ‘nurture.’ Like Father, Like Son is a moving story of a man who finally faces himself and the true meaning of family. In Japanese language with English subtitles. (2K DCP presentation)
