YesAsia Editorial Description

Starring award-winning actors Yakusho Koji and Suda Masaki, Father of the Milky Way Railroad depicts the life of beloved children's literature writer Miyazawa Kenji (1896-1933) from the perspective of his father. Directed by Narushima Izuru (Familia), the period drama is based on a Naoki Prize-winning novel by Kadoi Yoshinobu. Father of the Milky Way Railroad takes a warm and heart-tugging approach to capture the sincere passion of an unfettered young mind, and the selfless love of the father who becomes the greatest supporter of his unconventional son.

Kenji (Suda Masaki) was born the eldest son of the well-off Miyazawa family. Kenji's father Masajiro (Yakusho Koji) raises him with care as the heir to the family's pawn shop. However, much to his father's displeasure, Kenji rejects the family business as bullying the weak and becomes obsessed with other pursuits like agriculture and artificial gemstones. When he dedicates himself to religion, he even runs away from home to Tokyo. Kenji's younger sister Toshi (Mori Nana) is the person who understands him the most, but she falls ill with tuberculosis. In order to encourage Toshi, Kenji pours his heart into writing and reading stories to her. After Toshi passes away, Kenji believes that he won't be able to write anymore. It's Masajiro who supports Kenji to pick up the pen again.

何があっても息子を信じて、みんなで生きた。あなたは家族の希望だから── 唯一無二の詩や物語で今もなお世界中から愛されている宮沢賢治。そんな賢治が「ダメ息子だった!」という視点から賢治への無償の愛を貫いた家族を描き、第158回直木賞を受賞した「銀河鉄道の父」(著: 門井慶喜)を『八日目の蝉』『いのちの停車場』の成島出監督が映画化。宮沢賢治の父・政次郎を演じるのは役所広司。賢治役に菅田将暉。――質屋を営む裕福な宮沢家の長男に生まれた賢治は、跡取りとして大事に育てられるが、家業を「弱い者いじめ」だと断固として拒み、農業や人造宝石に夢中になって、父・政次郎と母・イチを振り回す。さらに、宗教に身を捧げると東京へ家出してしまう。そんな中、賢治の一番の理解者である妹のトシが、当時は不治の病だった結核に倒れる。賢治はトシを励ますために、一心不乱に物語を書き続け読み聞かせる。だが、願いは叶わず、みぞれの降る日にトシは息をを引き取る。「トシがいなければ何も書けない」と慟哭する賢治に、「私が宮沢賢治の一番の読者になる!」と、再び筆を執らせたのは政次郎だった──。
