- Synopsis
- SETSUKO (Shinobu Terajima) is seemingly stuck with her life in Tokyo
  until she is convinced by her niece, MIKA (Shioli Kutsuna), to enroll in an
  unorthodox English class that requires her to wear a blonde wig and take on
  an American persona named ‘LUCY.’ The new identity awakens something
  dormant in Setsuko, and she quickly falls for her American instructor,
  JOHN (Josh Hartnett). When John suddenly disappears from class and
  Setsuko learns he and Mika were in fact dating, she enlists the help of her
  sister, AYAKO (Kaho Minami) and flies halfway across the world to the
  outskirts of Southern California in search of the runaway couple. In a brave
  new world of tattoo parlors and seedy motels, family ties and past lives are
  tested as Setsuko struggles to preserve the dream and promise of ‘Lucy.’
