Letter

Naoki Takeshima (played by Takayuki Yamada) is a taciturn young man. Yumiko (played by Sawajiri Eiruka), a lovely female worker colleague in the factory, always shows favor to him, but he is still indifferent. It turns out that Naoki's older brother Tsuyoshi (played by Tetsuji Tamayama) accidentally killed someone during a burglary in order to allow Naoki to go to college. Therefore, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Tsuyoshi's only sustenance in prison was his brother's letters. Naoki suffered humiliation and became inferior and introverted, and also gave up his dream of becoming a comedian. Because of his brother's incident, everyone put on colored glasses towards him. Naoki was discriminated against and had to change jobs frequently. However, Yumiko never gave up her pursuit of Naoki. Finally, Naoki was moved and got married to Yumiko. But even if they keep a low profile, the family is still ostracized, and even their children are not immune. So Naoki decided to completely cut off correspondence with his brother, but can the family relationship of blood thicker than water be easily let go? The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by Keigo Higashino, and is directed by TBS's gold medal TV drama director Jirou Ikuno.
