Fed up with her elderly, emotionally distant husband, Nobu (Mako), Masi Matsumoto (Nobu McCarthy) files for divorce and begins searching for new romance. But when Nobu's co-dependent ways land her with the same old chores -- even after their official separation begins -- she wonders if the repressed man wants a reconciliation and if he even has the emotional tools to say so. Meanwhile, the couple's adult children struggle to come to terms with their parents' newly fractured lives.
