在这部听说爷爷去世了剧情片中,以爷爷的葬礼为契机，各怀心思的家庭成员渐渐坦诚相对、迈向未来的故事。一通电话打断了春野吉子（岸井雪乃饰）与男友做爱，电话中，她得知了爷爷的死讯。爷爷的三个孩子甚至连悲伤的闲暇都没有便匆匆赶来准备葬礼，许久未见的三人也开始了争执。负责安排葬礼、为奶奶找养老院的次男清二（光石研饰），与焦躁不安的长男昭夫（岩松了饰）、在东京小有成绩而选择不结婚的女儿薰（水野美纪饰）矛盾爆发；吉子因爷爷去世时自己在做爱而自责不已……预告片的最后，昭夫自言自语“至少在葬礼结束前，假装幸福家庭的样子吧”则将别扭又可爱的一家人表现得淋漓尽致。
When the man dies the family members gather for their father and grandfather's funeral and cremation. The pain is real and sketched on each of their face's. It is clear that the man meant something to each of them. However, what occurs next surfaces inner feelings, which due to their nature, would normally remain buried. Could it be the catalyst for their catharsis?
谁能定义家庭。死是逝者留给生者的思考题。哭了好几次。
