If you loved Every-Night Dreams, try No Blood Relation
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Mikio Naruse, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, outsider, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Every-Night Dreams, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What No Blood Relation is
A Hollywood actress returns to Tokyo to reclaim her abandoned daughter with her gangster brother’s help. A private investigation and bill-collecting firm finds evidence of fraudulent claims against a client. The resulting custody battle exposes the brittle contract of motherhood.
