Skip it. This sounds like a paint-by-numbers romantic drama about a middle-aged man chasing ghosts in Japan—a premise we've seen a hundred times before. Without any critical backing or cast names to justify the watch, it's a risky two hours you'd be better off spending on something with actual momentum.

Plot

Having lost his job and the company he built, a 36-year-old man at rock bottom goes on a wistful solo trip to Japan in search of the love he left behind.
