Ryota is a successful Tokyo architect who works long hours to provide for his wife and six-year-old son, Keita. But when a blood test reveals Keita and another baby were switched at birth, two very different families are thrown together and forced to make a difficult decision. This is a subtle and perceptive examination of family life and the importance of nature and nurture.
