A story about a man and a woman who, despite their age difference, have more in common than it first appears. Both suffer with feeling lost and disconnected from the lives they live. Bob is a movie star who no longer does movies and instead does commercials. While this provides more than enough money to live comfortably, it leaves him feeling unfulfilled. Married for 25 years with kids, life seems old and uninteresting to Bob, which contrasts sharply with the bright and loud Tokyo streets.

Cut to Charlotte, a young woman with a philosophy degree that is also in Tokyo with her husband, who's there for work as a photographer. Charlotte feels lost and unsure about her next steps in life. One night, they meet at the hotel bar and strike up a conversation. This interaction leads to them becoming friends, and from that moment, you see Bob change; it almost seems as if a spark is lit, and life becomes more exciting.

Both feel neglected in their lives: Charlotte doesn't feel understood by her fiancé or her mom, which we glimpse during a phone call. Bob faces similar issues; his conversations with his wife seem more focused on trivial matters, like the color of the carpet, than on how he's doing. To me, the relationship between Bob and Charlotte isn't romantic. Instead, they are both very thankful to one another because they guide each other to a better understanding of their paths in life.

Overall this film explores finding meaning in unexpected places.
