Setsuko (Shinobu Terajima) is a 55-year-old office drone, depressed, lovelorn and chain-smoking her way to an early grave. One day, Setsuko finds salvation in the form of John, a teacher in a run-down Tokyo English school who has a rather unorthodox approach to education which includes giving Setsuko the English name 'Lucy'. Knowing that John has abruptly left Tokyo to return home, Setsuko sets off to the United States on a journey of discovery.
This East-meets-West comedy by director Atsuko Hirayanagi, which premiered at Cannes Critic Week, features a star-studded cast including Shinobu Terajima and American actor Josh Hartnett.
