The Third Murder

“Everyone has a truth to want to believe.”

In a Japanese court, a murder case looks settled before it begins. Takashi Misumi (Koji Yakusho) has already confessed to a robbery and killing, and his lawyer, Tomoaki Shigemori (Masaharu Fukuyama), is hired to build a defense around him. Kore-eda sends Shigemori into the interview room again and again as the story keeps shifting, and a man's life depends on which version of it holds.
