Charlotte and Bob

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2020)

Strange and unknown places always help us to find new mates, ones who are immortal in our hearts and mind. A fading American actor Bob Harris arrives in Tokyo to appear in adverts. Bob, suffering from his twenty-five year marital life issues and career crisis, meets Charlotte, another American staying at the same hotel. Charlotte is a young college graduate who is in Japan to accompany her husband, a celebrity photographer.
Charlotte and Bob, both struggling with their current life situation, have frequent conversations like about their jet lag and peculiar culture in Tokyo and how they misspell "R" and "L" in words. This strengthens their friendship, and Charoltte and Bob spends a city nightlife with some of her native friends. In the forthcoming days, their friendship builds up further as they spend their evening in the hotel bar. They spend their sleepless nights in chatting about their married lives and other personal problems.
On the penultimate day of his stay at Tokyo, Charlotte and Bob goes on lunch, where they share mixed emotions. In the evening, they reconcile at the hotel bar and express how they'll miss each other.
Before leaving the hotel, Charlotte and Bob share farewell messages. On his way to airport in taxi, Bob sees Charlotte walking down a crowded street. He stops the car and walks to her. They embrace each other, share a kiss and Bob bids her farewell.
The two, somehow, lost their track of usual life which they get back through this bond in an unknown place, a friendship which is immortal and compassionate.
