Ryota is forced to make a life-changing decision, to choose between ‘nature’ and ‘nurture.’ Seeing Midori’s devotion to Keita even after learning his origin, and communicating with the rough yet caring family that has raised his natural son for the last six years, Ryota also starts to question himself: has he really been a ‘father’ all these years? This is the moving story of a man who finally faces himself when he encounters an unexpected wall for the first time in his life. Hirokazu Koreedas Like Father, Like Son observes several months in the lives of two radically different Japanese families, initially unacquainted with one another, but who are mutually thrust into a bizarre, devastating situation that courts only sticky solutions.


Directed by Hirokazu Koreeda, the film features a cast that includes Masaharu Fukuyama, Machiko Ono, Yôko Maki and Lily Franky.
#LIKE FATHER LIKE SON CAST 2013 MOVIE#
Their six-year-old son, Keita, is not ‘their’ son: the hospital gave them the wrong baby. Database of movie trailers, clips and other videos for Like Father, Like Son (2014). Then one day, he and his wife, Midori, get an unexpected phone call from the hospital. Would you choose your natural son, or the son you believed was yours after spending six years together? Kore-eda Hirokazu, the globally acclaimed director of “Nobody Knows,” “Still Walking,” and “I Wish” returns to the big screen with another family - a family thrown into torment after a phone call from the hospital where the son was born… Ryota has earned everything he has by his hard work, and believes nothing can stop him from pursuing his perfect life as a winner. Kore-eda again creates a pair of irresistible charmers whose lives are, with increasing emotional violence, upended with polite bows, civilized conversations and hollow-sounding rationalizations by the very adults meant to take care of them.
