A Man (2022)

Description:

A lawyer, Akira, is hired by his former client, Rie, to perform a background check on her late husband, Daisuke. After a challenging past, Rie had built a happy new life with Daisuke and their two children in her hometown, only for it to be tragically cut short by Daisuke's sudden death in an accident. During the funeral, Daisuke's long-estranged older brother, Kyoichi, makes a shocking appearance. Upon seeing a photograph of the deceased, Kyoichi emphatically states that the man is not his brother. This stunning claim thrusts Akira into a profound investigation, forcing him to unravel the true identity of the man Rie married and explore a complex web of deceit, identity, and the intricate lives people lead. The search for truth will challenge everything Rie thought she knew about her husband and her family.
