Yukiko lives alone in a small apartment with her two children. The situation becomes too much for her, she slowly loses touch with friends, and her children are left to fend for themselves. OGATAs story of a mother in dire straits is the most disturbing analysis of family disruption you will see this year. Exquisitely acted, intricately structured, and absolutely merciless.
