Plot

A failed actress named Sumika returns home from Tokyo for the funeral of her parents, but really just wants to soak her brother for more money to support her big city lifestyle. She still holds a grudge against her talented younger sister Kiyomi for exposing her secrets through a manga she created years earlier, and takes every opportunity to abuse and berate her.

Meanwhile, their miserable brother Shinji tries to keep the peace between his siblings while completely ignoring his lonely-but-bubbly wife, who he never really cared for. As utter dysfunction permeates through their house, each family member spirals toward their individual fates in ways that are bizarre, sad, and amusing all at once.
