(Gama no Abura)
Kôji Yakusho

Takuro Yazawa is a Day-trader who, according to himself, can earn hundreds of millions of yen in one day. He is blessed with a charming wife, Terumi, and a diligent and caring son, Takuya. One day, Takuya dies in an auto accident. When Takuya’s girlfriend, Hikari, calls him on his cell phone, Takuro unwittingly takes the call, pretending to be Takuya. The story follows everyone around him as they attempt to cope in their own way with the sad accident and somehow to benefit spiritually from the experience...
