Kāda trūcīga, bet saticīga ģimene pieņem Tokijas bargajā salā atrastu meitenīti. Viņu dienas aizrit itin laimīgi, līdz notiek negadījums, cits pēc cita atklājas daudz noslēpumu un izrādās, ka ciešās saites, kuras saista tuviniekus, sabiedrības acīs ir vien noziegums. Kore-eda Hirokadzu – viens no Japānas talantīgākajiem un starptautiski atzītākajiem filmu veidotājiem – ir bijis biežs viesis Kannu kinofestivālā, kur par šo filmu ieguva Zelta palmas zaru. Visi režisora uzņemtie darbi sniedz iespēju uz brīdi patverties no savas dzīves un vienlaikus saskatīt tajā patiesi būtisko. Pasaule kā sarežģīta, skumja un nāves apdvesta telpa, tomēr šķietami nenozīmīgi mirkļi savieno cilvēkus un iegulst atmiņā uz mūžu.

What does it mean to adopted and brought up far away from your country of birth? In “Given Away,” this week’s moving new Op-Doc by directors Glenn and Julie Morey, Korean adoptees who grew up in Western countries reflect on the complicated emotional terrain that they’ve navigated in their lives. Glenn Morey was himself adopted from Korea in the wake of the Korean war, and the directors have channeled that connection to create a beautifully nuanced and emotional film. As the Moreys write of Glenn’s experience interviewing adoptees, “He has needed others like him … to help him make sense of his life. They have also helped him make peace with the universe.”
