Interviewing her new in-laws and locals, she soon finds her straightforward honesty and enthusiasm for the city fall foul of Kyoto’s distinct culture of ‘honne’ (one’s true feelings) and ‘tatemae’ (one’s outward opinions). As miscommunication mounts, things turn to outright havoc when an estate agent attempts to buy the family’s traditional townhouse.
A laugh-out-loud comedy of desperate cultural misunderstandings!
