This is a story about two very lonely people who meet by chance. Bob Harris (Bill Murray) is an actor who makes action movies (James Bond style), but he doesn't seem to have had a film in a while, and he's just flown to Tokyo to do some advertising for Suntory whisky — shoot a commercial, promotional photo shoot, that kind of stuff. His wife of 25 years hasn't come with him, ostensibly because she needs to look after their children, but one gets the feeling that she's just not interested in being with him any more. Charlotte (Scarlett Johannson) has been married two years to a professional photographer, just graduated, and has accompanied him on a trip to Tokyo to be with him. He (Giovanni Ribisi) would far rather she hadn't come (although he doesn't have the guts to say so) — he has a lot of work to do, and seems to want to spend time schmoozing with his clients (probably to guarantee future work), but he is definitely neglecting Charlotte.
Bob and Charlotte are both having trouble sleeping (circadian asynchronism is a fancy term for it, but jet lag is the common one) — they both try watching TV that's in a language they don't know, featuring programmes they mostly don't understand; they try swimming; they wander the city looking at signs in a language they can't read; they try drinking; they try calling home looking for support that they don't get. Charlotte's husband is having no trouble sleeping, and he's no help when she tries to snuggle up to him. So both of them are feeling tired, lonely, isolated, and alienated. They have glanced at one another a few times (they are staying in the same hotel), but eventually they talk...
