A lonely, aging movie star named Bob Harris and a conflicted newlywed, Charlotte, meet in Tokyo. Bob is there to film a Japanese Suntory whiskey commercial;
Charlotte is accompanying her celebrity-photographer husband.
Strangers in a foreign land, the two find escape, distraction and understanding amidst the bright Tokyo lights after a chance meeting in the quiet lull of the hotel bar.
They form a bond that is as unlikely as it is heartfelt and meaningful.
