Lost Man Found

2022 · 1 season

A gentle, bittersweet drift through one man's stubborn pursuit of a dream, warm and quietly sad in equal measure.

Overview
Satoru Matsudo moves to Tokyo in hopes of becoming an actor. He has trouble breaking into the industry, but his luck begins to change when he finds an airplane ticket belonging to a talent agency CEO. Time passes, and Satoru makes a name for himself as an actor. He gets a call from America. Hoping it is a Hollywood offer, he instead hears about his estranged older brother.
