The surprise winner at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, Nobody Knows ' leading man Yagira Yuya, only 14 at the time, defeated the likes of Tony Leung, Tom Hanks and Geoffrey Rush to win the Best Actor Award, becoming the youngest winner in Cannes history. Since Cannes, Kore-eda Hirokazu's film has been accepted into prestigious film festivals such as Toronto, London and Pusan, as well as receiving critical acclaim in cities where the film has opened commercially. While it might not have an all-star cast, stunning special effects or a huge budget, Nobody Knows proves that all a film needs to succeed is a good story and a production that is taken seriously! Nobody Knows tells of a family in Tokyo where four children live with their mother in a small apartment. All the children have different fathers and don't attend school, and three are living in hiding from the landlord. One day, their mother decides to go away to look for her boyfriend, and leaves her eldest son Akira (Yagira Yuya) a note and a little money to take care of his siblings in her temporary absence. But when the mother fails to return, the children are left to survive on their own, thus beginning their survival tale, one that nobody knows.
