In English, Kore-eda Hirokazu's emotional and funny and perhaps slightly more twee than usual drama is called "After the Storm" but the typhoon takes place in the film's latter scenes with more time spent before the storm looking at main character, Ryota Shinoda, who is living a life he never intended - he is a hard-up one-time award-winning novelist now not making ends meet as a private detective and scamster, and it will take a thorough shake-up for him to wake up to his responsibilities to his ageing mother (Kirin Kiki - take tissues), his ex-wife and boy.
