A social-media obsessed American guy falls in love with an unplugged Japanese girl in Tokyo.
Tom, an American 30 something that has recently moved to Tokyo for what he thinks is just a temporary gig, struggles with feelings of isolation in a land where he doesn't speak the language and all of his relationships play out online. He's self-absorbed and pretends to be a cooler version of himself on the 'net. Then he meets Saki, a free-spirited Japanese woman who teaches him about Tokyo and relating to others in a more personal way. She tries to help him live in the present and communicate with words, not text on a screen. Can he learn to relate to her, or is a make believe life on the web too tempting?—Peter Harmon
