He put his career at a advertising agency to one side to support his wife and move to Japan for the first time. He puts on a brave, energetic front, but deep down is struggling to come to terms with his new life of making delicate lunch boxes, Japanese learning and an uncommunicative father-in-law. Bryan is doing his best to master the art of being a Japanese homemaker.
Full of laughter and love – and plenty of cultural misunderstandings, witness life in Tokyo through the eyes of a foreigner who just wants to keep his family safe and happy. It has been 3 months and counting since arriving at his wife's family home in Tokyo. Bryan is struggling with the cultural norm of allowing his 6-year-old daughter Alice to walk to school by herself, but his wife insists Japan is safe. When his Japanese mother-in-law passes away, Englishman Bryan Jenkins moves to Tokyo with his family to live with his father-in-law.

Alice is the new kid in her grade 1 elementary school class. The lunchboxes that Bryan makes are vastly different to those of her classmates. Yoshida's extraordinary comedy series, "Salaryman NEO-Office Chuckles", became so popular it was nominated for the Best Comedy Series in the 35th and 36th International Emmy Awards. He has received numerous drama awards for his works of "The Cave Man", "Hellgate Island" and "Fuji Family". His 3rd film, "The Detective is in the Bar 3", is scheduled to be released this winter.
Seeing Bryan at a loss, Itsuki suggests he heads down to the local public bath, a favorite spot of her father's. There is a lot of my actual experiences, cultural shocks in this script.
