Library / Work–Family Conflict
Watch this when
Mirai
New baby, back at work, partner suddenly running the house: Mirai gets how messy that season is.
Who it's for
Mirai shows the unglamorous middle of family life: a mother returning to work, a father fumbling through laundry, deadlines and a baby, and a preschooler who feels replaced.
Feelings it meets
What it is
Four-year-old Kun is thrilled when his baby sister Mirai arrives, until his parents' attention shifts to her. At the same time the household rearranges itself: his mother goes back to her office job and his father, an architect, starts working from home and doing most of the childcare for the first time.
