Becoming 'Father' without Committing any Crime!
'Daughters' (2020) is about two young girls, Koharu and Ayano, living together in Tokyo. They have good jobs and enjoy their carefree lives and friendship till one of them, Ayano, becomes pregnant from a one-night stand. This is a big shock for Koharu. There are two options available for her:
1. Not accepting any responsibility: Ayano has made all the decisions by herself, not asking for her friend's opinions, so it makes sense if Koharu goes with this option.
2. Accepting a role like 'the father', as Ayano doesn't tell the real father about the story.
Sadly, there is no third option between these two extremes for her: All or nothing.
Koharu goes with the second option, so she constantly has to adjust her life to fast-changing situation of the mother. This is not fun for sure! And the main story is about this: HOW THIS PREGNANCY PERIOD AFFECTS THE GIRLS' FRIENDSHIP.
As I just finished it, I can't say how good the movie is (disregard my ratings, MDL made me give some ratings!), but the theme was really new and interesting to me!

The story is quite slow, and it can boring if you didn't like it, but to me I enjoyed this movie it just beautiful and lovely. Ayano might be look like selfish and but she try to take care by herself but ended up she didn't thought about other people around her and hurt her friend feeling. Koharu is good friend, she willing to help her friend even it might be hard. The two actress portray they feeling well. I got immerse while watching it.
