This is about a Belgian woman who dreams of working in Tokyo, only to find the reality somewhat different that what she expected.  Extremely well acted, rich in detail (the Japanese culture is interesting by itself, Japanese culture shock even more so), and emotionally satisfying--I liked it a lot.  I may come back and write more about this one.
