Being produced by French firm 3B and Kore-eda's Bunbuku, the film will be shot in France in October and November.

The script of the film is based on a stage play which was writted by Kore-eda nearly 15 years ago but never produced.

During their reunion, various truths are revealed.

In a statement released on Monday, Kore-eda said: "Directing while overcoming differences of language and culture is a stimulating challenge. Whether or not to direct the way I do in Japan is something I will think about on the set." Kore-eda is well known for his films "Nobody Knows","Air Doll" and the latest released "Shoplifters".
