About Widowed Wife: Father-in-law Care
A movie of sensuality and melancholy about a widow living with her father-in-law who suffers from dementia, and the inescapable reality that surrounds her! Wakako, a devoted widow, lives with her father-in-law, who is in a nursing home for dementia. Having been deprived of a man for some time, Wakako gives her body to the director of the home. And Wakako's desires begin to flow as if a dam has broken...
Directed by Chastity, Widowed Wife: Father-in-law Care leans on a strong ensemble — Onoue Wakaba, Masahiro Tabuchi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2018.
