“a thoughtful, poignant, sometimes funny and whimsical reflection on the future of humankind’s coexistence with intelligent machines.”

From Hirokazu Koreeda, the visionary behind “Shoplifters” and “Monster,” comes the heartfelt drama “Sheep in the Box.” This film made a remarkable debut at the prestigious main competition of the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.
In a near-future world, Otone and Kensuke, a couple navigating the depths of grief after losing their son, embrace a humanoid that mirrors their late child, demonstrating the power of love and connection.
Filmed on 35mm by the talented Japanese cinematographer Ryûto Kondô, this marks a third collaboration with Koreeda, following “Shoplifters” (2018) and “Monster” (2023).
