Synopsis:

Funuke, Show Some Love, You Losers! is the story of a countryside family struggle. The movie begins with both parents dying in a car accident. The elder sister (Eriko Sato) comes back home from Tokyo because they are no longer able to send her money for acting school. The other two members of the family are the little sister (Aimi Satsukawa), an asthma-stricken aspiring manga writer and older brother (Masatoshi Nagase), who abuses his wife (Hiromi Nagasaku). Now that the frustrated elder sister has come back (and eager to leave again), tension within the family hits an all-time-high. Every member of the family has a dark secret and they lead to one event after another...

Eighteen-year-old, plain-Jane Kiyomi witnesses the death of her parents in a country road accident. Her sister, the comely wannabe actress Sumika, returns to the family's small rural homestead to collect her inheritance before the bodies are cold. Big brother and local wood-cutter, Shinji, informs Sumika about cash flows and tells her she has to wait. Since Sumika can't afford to return to Tokyo, the out-of-work actress takes up residency in her old room alongside her siblings and Shinji's desperately cheerful wife, Machiko, who does her best to relieve familial tensions with forced joviality.
