This is the type of film that makes you wanna learn the language so you can understand what's going on... Why? It won top honors at this year's 71st Cannes Film Festival back in May, that's why.
A Japanese couple stuck with part-time jobs and hence inadequate incomes avail themselves of the fruits of shoplifting to make ends meet. They are not alone in this behaviour. The younger and the older of the household are in on the act.
The unusual routine is about to change from care-free and matter-of-fact to something more dramatic, however, as the couple open their doors to a beleaguered teenager. The reasons for the family and friends' habit and their motivations come under the microscope.
东京高楼林立的大厦之间,残存一个破旧平房,里面住着年迈的母亲柴田初枝(树木希林饰)、治(中川雅也 饰)与信代(安藤樱 饰)夫妇,以及他们的儿子祥太(城桧吏 饰),和信代的妹妹亚纪(松冈茉优 饰)。这家人依赖初枝的老人年金过活。当年金不够用时,就会靠在外头顺手牵羊来补贴家用。
虽然他们处在社会的底层,但每天依然快乐地生活着。某个寒冷的冬日,治在周边的公寓发现了一位被冻僵瑟瑟发抖的小女孩(佐佐木美雪 饰),并将她带回了家,照顾起居,成为了家里的一份子。直到有一天,一个意外的事件使得原本融洽的家庭逐渐四分五裂。彼此心中隐藏的秘密与内心深处暗藏的愿望,也逐渐摊在阳光底下……

Without even reading the summary, you can assume this movie will do VERY well in China... just look at the list of actors. Here you go anyways:
Five years ago, expert sea diver and Naval Captain Jonas Taylor encountered an unknown danger in the unexplored recesses of the Mariana Trench that forced him to abort his mission and abandon half his crew.
Though the tragic incident earned him a dishonorable discharge, what ultimately cost him his career, his marriage, and any semblance of honor was his unsupported and incredulous claims of what caused it - an attack on his vessel by a mammoth, 70-foot sea creature, believed to be extinct for more than a million years.
But when a submersible lies sunk and disabled at the bottom of the ocean - carrying his ex-wife among the team onboard - he is the one who gets the call. Whether a shot at redemption or a suicide mission, Jonas must confront his fears and risk his own life and the lives of everyone trapped below on a single question: Could the Carcharodon Megalodon - the largest marine predator that ever existed - still be alive ... and on the hunt?
一项由中国主导的国际科研项目,正在马里亚纳海沟深处进行时,遭遇未知生物攻击,科研人员被困海底。前美国海军陆战队深海潜水专家乔纳斯·泰勒受命前往营救,再度遭遇数年前曾经在深海给自己留下终身难以磨灭记忆的史前生物巨齿鲨。
乔纳斯联手科研项目中的中国女科学家张苏茵成功营救了被困人员,但营救行动却意外造成了巨齿鲨逃离深海。当史前巨兽重返浅海,人类将为自己对大自然的贪婪付出惨重的代价......
