born bone boon

Storyline

Hitoshi has returned to his hometown of Agunishima to introduce his wife, Yuko, to the family. But, Yuko is furious when she’s told the reason for the trip home. The true purpose was for the “senkotsu” ceremony - Agunishima’s continuing custom of cleansing the bones of the dead. This is a heartwarming comedy of a disconnected family discovering their true selves through the ceremony of cleansing bones. While dealing with the serious subject of Agunishima’s still remaining “senkotsu” custom, the film is an inspiring piece by director Gori, who shows his best in creating a comedy that brings laughs and tears.
