In a relaxed and everyday way, it embodies the bitterness of contemporary Japanese society and family, and there is no lack of warmth in jokes. The world premiere of "Family Suffering 2" at the Beijing Film Festival tells the story of how a few years after the last divorce incident, the death of a successful person once again set off waves in the Hirata family, reflecting the current situation of indifference to interpersonal relations in Japan's current "unrelated society".
