Nobody Knows - Dare mo shiranai (2004) 141mins Rated PG-13 for mature thematic elements and some sexual references. Japan - Japanese/ENG-SUBS (Drama) Post Refreshed and Reposted on 12.15.12

Based on a true story; In present-day Tokyo, young single mother Fukashima Keiko (You) moves into a new apartment with her 12-year-old son Akira (Yagira Yuya). With them are Akira's three younger siblings, all from different fathers, whose existence has been hidden from the landlord and much of the outside world. When their mother disappears, Akira continues to manage the household as usual, though survival becomes more difficult as the days and weeks roll on. 

Nobody Knows is a moving film about four children left to fend for themselves by their unfit mother. The lead, Yuya Yagira (who plays Akira), was named Best Actor at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, while the movie was nominated as Japan’s Academy Award Foreign Language Film entry. Its a story of survival in their small bubble of a world, with Akira doing the shopping and taking on the father role, introverted Kyoko doing the laundry, Shigera causing trouble, and Yuki being really cute. Its both touching and depressing, interspersing their moments of survival- scraping together enough money for manju, or picking up out-of-date onigiri from the combini, with moments of joy- them playing on the swings, or Akira’s sudden drafting onto a local school baseball team. Its beautiful, depressing, and the young actors who fill the roles are truly impressive, particularly the lead, Yuya Yagira. IMDb Images
