Blank 13 portrays the emotional turmoil of a family confronting the sudden return—and death—of a father who abandoned them, blending fear, resentment, and unresolved longing. Through memories, conflicting stories, and a quietly powerful funeral setting, the film reveals how bitterness and affection can coexist as Koji struggles to reconcile the man he knew with the man others admired. Though limited by its dialogue-heavy storytelling, the film ultimately offers a tender reflection on grief, forgiveness, and the courage to accept painful truths.
