b. Lost in Translation
Lost in Translation features two Americans visiting Tokyo for unrelated reasons, while both are at a cross roads in their lives. The two are able to bond and form a relationship while in Tokyo, but as you can guess, some of their intimate conversations inevitably get “lost in translation” and the two ultimately part ways at the end of their journeys.
