In the upcoming film ‘Une part manquante’ by Belgian director Guillaume Senez, a father, Jay, embarks on a poignant journey to reconnect with his daughter Lily, whom he hasn’t seen in nearly a decade. Set against the backdrop of Tokyo, the narrative explores the complexities of parental separation in Japan, where shared custody laws have historically favored one parent, often leading to children being taken away. The film, featuring Romain Duris, captures the emotional depth of parental longing and highlights the struggles of expatriate life, set to release on November 13, 2024.
