Nineteen foreign residents of Japan sit for interviews and talk about what it actually feels like to build a life there, some after a few months, others after several decades. Most are Western expatriates, and the film lets them speak plainly about both sides of the experience: the language barrier, workplace customs, the difficulty of forming close friendships with Japanese neighbors, but also the safety, the food, and the small rituals that eventually start to feel like home. No narrator frames their answers or tells you which view is correct; the interviews run largely on their own, cut together so that contradictory opinions sit side by side, someone praising the same custom another finds isolating. The film closes with an original song from the band Mimizukuzu, and versions exist with Japanese, Swedish, and Spanish subtitles alongside the original. There is no single thesis here beyond the accumulation of nineteen different answers to the same question: what is it actually like to live somewhere you were not born.
