Japanese film master Hirokazu Kore-eda (I Wish, Air Doll) returns with another warm contemporary drama, wherein a rich family and poor family discover that their sons were switched at birth.

But Ryota is appalled at the other family’s unkempt, easy-going nature, and seeks to not only keep the son he has raised, but also buy off the other parents to give up legal ownership of his true, biological son....
