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.’
