樹木希林在是枝裕和眼中是永恆的母親。二人的羈絆，要追溯至《橫山家之味》，電影促成了兩人長達十年的合作，樹木希林自此更為他所有以家庭為題的電影出演母親角色，形象深入民心。久違的橫山一家人，每年只有在大哥純平的忌日才會團聚，家中僅存的兒子良多帶著剛過門的寡婦妻子與繼子一同返家，他的姊姊也與丈夫孩子一同前往;看似兩天閒散的相聚時光，家人彼此之間歡笑的背後，深藏著隱隱的哀傷，以及不曾說出口的秘密。原田芳雄飾演典型日式不苟言笑的嚴父，家母對長子過逝的往事一直無法釋懷，洋溢在食物中的「家之味」既溫馨又可怕，樹木希林的演技從日常談話中滲出來，為她帶來電影旬報、報知映畫賞、日本藍絲帶獎等多項最佳女配角獎。

Kiki Kirin and Kore-eda Hirokazu began their long partnership with this subtle and tender family drama considered to be one of the master filmmaker’s best films. Every year, the Yokoyama family come together to commemorate the death of its eldest son. This year, younger son Ryota is bringing his new wife and his stepson for the ritual for the first time. Over the course of the weekend, the past and present clash as regrets and tensions bubble to the surface. As the family’s matriarch, Kiki gives an astonishing performance that sees her evolve from a gentle granny to a tragic figure as her long-held resentments are revealed in unexpected moments.
