What is Tokyo Sonata about?

Ryuhei (Teruyuki Kagawa) is an Everyman, a Tokyo husband and father of two, who, unexpectedly laid off from his job, finds he is a soldier in a vast army of unemployed men concealing their shameful realities from their families and friends. Pretending to depart each day for work, he actually kills time in libraries and parks. His lies go unnoticed by his older son who becomes increasingly distanced from his parents, while his wife strives to keep her family together.
