Two sisters at war, a sullen half brother and a sister-in-law caught in the middle: meet the deliciously dysfunctional Funukes, a family whose members hate each other’s guts. One fateful event throws their already strained relationships off balance and cause repressed memories of old trauma to resurface, leaving the heroes striving to negotiate their desires and aggression, and failing to notice the thin line between sustaining your own life and eliminating others’. Yoshida Daihachi directs a black comedy cum kitchen-sink drama about flaring passions, bloody family strife and lost souls searching in vain for the meaning of life ? and maybe a semblance of love.
