Holding (Lavender kazoku)

Mikiko, a single mother in her forties, visits her elderly parents in a suburb of Tokyo. Although she tries to convince her aging father to stop driving, he insists he's still capable and won't listen to reason. Then, she finds a pile of literary magazines containing a story by her son, which she didn't know about. She begins to suspect that her son has more secrets when he arrives later, and she catches her mother and him in a whispered conversation. Although Mikiko is trying her best to hold the family together, she has to admit in the end that she can't control everyone else's lives.
