Single mom's struggle

The Japanese drama 'Monster' seems to be a tragedy about a troubled pre-teen boy. His single mother Saori (Sakura Ando) fails to understand little things about Minato Mugino (Soya Kurokawa), like a new haircut and a cut over Minato’s right ear. Some of these might appear as signs of a problem, like when Minato asks his mom if she thinks a person would still be human if they received a pig brain transplant. Minato also sings to himself a phrase that hangs over the rest of the movie like a slow-breaking raincloud: "Who’s the monster?"
