鬼父 Re-born
Synopsis
Stepfather and reluctant stepdaughter begin tense hot springs trip alone, setting stage for unsettling family vacation.
When Kouzou Akizuki, the stepfather of two adolescent girls, announces a family holiday to a hot springs resort, his daughter Airi is initially reluctant to join. Her sister Marina, however, is excited about the trip and manages to convince Airi to participate, though Marina herself will be arriving a few days later than the others. This leaves Airi and her stepfather to begin the journey together, creating an atmosphere of tension and unease. Airi has long harbored complicated feelings about her family situation, and being alone with Kouzou only amplifies her discomfort. As they travel toward their destination, the dynamics between them become increasingly strained, setting the stage for what will become a deeply unsettling family vacation.
