DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hayao Miyazaki Japan

Works like *Spirited Away* and *Howl's Moving Castle* explore themes of inherited responsibility, generational curses, and the burden of family legacy in fantastical settings.

 Asghar Farhadi Iran

His films such as *A Separation* and *Everyone Knows* deeply investigate how inheritance—both material and moral—creates conflict and reveals character across family structures.
