They grow many kinds of vegetables and fruit in their garden and harvest the crops to make their living. Their lives embody the ideal of people in this modern age. As a skilled architect, Shuichi was in charge of a planning of a new town 50 years ago.

Shuichi left his work, purchased land in the new town, and built a house for him and his wife. They grew crops and woods there to make their living slowly and steadily. One day, a client visits Shuichi to ask for his architectural design. The order is a challenge for Shuichi to realize his ideal building that can coexist with nature.

OSANAGO WARERANI UMARE
幼な子われらに生まれ
DEAR ETRANGER
Kiyoshi Shigematsu, Naoki Prize winning author of “Tonbi” and “Ryusei Wagon” published a novel entitled “Osanago Warera ni Umare” (We’re Having a Baby) in 1996.
The human drama explores the meaning of “family” through the complex relationships between a 44-year-old man, his ex-wife, their daughter who lives with her mother, his current wife, her children from a previous marriage, and a new child they are about to bring into the world. Haruhiko Arai, who is known for his artful depictions of romantic relationships between men and women, will write the screenplay, and Yukiko Mishima, who has cultivated a passionate young female fan base through her work in “Shiawase no Pan”(Bread of Happiness) and “Budou no Namida”(A Drop of Grapevine), will direct the film. Tadanobu Asano who won the 2016 Asian Film Award for Best Supporting Actor will play the lead with Rena Tanaka. He claims he took on the role because he is, in fact, in his 40’s. The film is a collaborative effort that spans generations and is expected to appeal to a wide age group.
While the novel was written 20 years ago, it encourages discussion of relevant and current “family” issues such as married couples with different surnames and gay marriage.
妻を亡くした男と、母を亡くした子供たち。その不思議な出会いから、「あたらしい家族」の物語が動きはじめる。

実は、信と奈苗の間には、新しい生命が生まれようとしていた。血のつながらない長女はそのことでより辛辣になり、放った一言―「やっぱりこのウチ、嫌だ。本当のパパに会わせてよ」。今の家族に息苦しさを覚え始める信は、怒りと哀しみを抱えたまま半ば自暴自棄で長女を奈苗の元夫・沢田（宮藤官九郎）と会う決心をするが・・・。
