CANNES FILM FESTIVAL: CRITIC'S WEEK. Life can change at the blink of an eye, on in this case by wearing a blond wig and taking a new persona. A single, emotionally unfulfilled woman, is seemingly stuck with a drab, meaningless life in Tokyo. After an English class where she discovers her alter ego, Lucy, she dares to follow the unknown and her very handsome teacher. So she flies halfway across the world to the outskirts of Southern California. In a brave new world of tattoo parlors and seedy motels, family ties and past lives are tested as she struggles to preserve the dream and promise of Lucy.
