Based on true events, “Nobody Knows” tells the saga of a reckless mother who abandons her four illegitimate children, all begot by different fathers, in a small Tokyo apartment, leaving the eldest son to feed, clothe, and protect his siblings in a home without even basic utilities. 12-year-old Yagira Yuya, who plays the character of the eldest son Akira, won the Best Actor prize at the 2004 Cannes International Film Festival for his heartrending performance in this film that is at once a fairy-tale adventure of orphans left to abide by their own makeshift set of rules, and a gripping portrait of the realities of parental abandonment. 141 min.
Director: Kore-eda Hirokazu, Japan, 2004
With an introduction by author Annie Choi, graduate of Columbia University and the author of Happy Birthday or Whatever: Track Suits, Kim Chee, and Other Family Disasters (HarperCollins), her debut memoir on the trials and tribulations of growing up as a Korean-American immigrant in Los Angeles. She lives in New York City.
Proverb: A child who is shown love and affection through an excess of joy and peace will not be able to learn much.
