Movie description:

The Yokohama clan gets together every year at the elderly parents’ seaside-town home to commemorate an eldest son’s death. It’s an occasion not looked forward to by all – or perhaps anyone – despite general efforts at good cheer. Particularly reluctant are surviving son Ryota, who feels the brunt of his elderly parents’ thinly disguised disapproval of his artrestoration profession and his new bride, Yukari. She’s anxious to impress the in-laws, and have them accept as family her son by her late first husband.
But Ryota’s biggest complaint is that his blunt-spoken mother and, in particular, his gruff father still treat him like a failure compared to shining-star Junpei, who died saving a drowning child. All their hopes were pinned on him; even long dead, he’s the yardstick by which Ryo is judged.
