At their estranged father's funeral, three twenty-something siblings learn that they have a teenage half-sister and invite her to live with them in the seaside town of Kamakura. In time, her presence forces them to reflect on their own lives and family ties. Written and directed by Hirokazu Koreeda, OUR LITTLE SISTER is based on the Japanese comic series Umimachi Diary by Akimi Yoshida.

So much more lies buried in-between the lines., The Telegraph - itÆs an invitation to sit back and settle in for one of Kore-edaÆs loveliest films.
