Teruyuki Kagawa and Kyoko Koizumi are co-starring in "Tokyo Sonata," a new film by Kiyoshi Kurosawa.

Scripted by Australian director/writer Max Mannix, the movie tells the story of a family's collapse and revival. Kagawa plays the father of two, who is hiding the fact that he has been laid off by his company, while Koizumi plays his lethargic wife.

Filming wraps up at the end of this month, and the picture will see release sometime next year. Kurosawa is hoping to take the movie to Cannes.
