Detective Takeo Okayama has a daughter, Mio, who is a schoolgirl; however, Mio is actually the daughter of his older brother, Katsuya. Having been taken in and raised by Takeo due to certain circumstances, Mio has reached adolescence and harbours fantasies about her biological father. Meanwhile, Katsuya had served a ten-year prison sentence for manslaughter after accidentally killing a robber whilst trying to protect his daughter when she was a small child. Plagued by guilt, he had developed mental health issues and alcohol dependency, and now, living a life of shame as a convicted criminal, his sole purpose was the desire to see his daughter, Mio.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

近くて遠い親子 is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

Released in 2023, this film holds up just as well today. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
