‘The Women in the Lakes’ (湖の女たち) is a 2024 Japanese mystery drama written and directed by Tatsushi Omori.

Based on the novel ‘Mizuumi no Onnatachi’ by Shuichi Yoshida, the film revolves around a pair of detectives who are assigned to investigate the murder of a 100-year-old man in a nursing home. The cast includes Sota Fukushi, Marika Matsumoto, Momoko Fukuchi, Naomi Zaizen, Yoshiko Mita, and Tadanobu Asano.

Synopsis: At a lakeside nursing home, a 100-year-old elderly man is murdered. Keisuke Hamanaka (Sota Fukushi), a young detective of the Saiko Police Department in charge of the investigation, and Tasuku Isami (Tadanobu Asano), a veteran detective, relentlessly interrogate suspects from among those involved in the facility. As the case becomes increasingly murky, Keisuke develops a twisted desire for control over Kayo Toyoda (Marika Matsumoto), a caregiver he met during the investigation. Meanwhile, a weekly journalist, Yuki Ikeda (Momoko Fukuchi), who has been following the case, discovers that the murder is related to a drug case that has been covered up by the police department.
