Doki-Doki (2003)
A lucky find

I too was changing channels when I found this on PBS...I heard Japanese language, so I stopped. I've lived in Japan so I was interested at first to see how Japan and Japanese were portrayed. I was impressed with what I felt to be an authentic portrayal of bustling Tokyo commuter life, of a younger generation of Japanese and how they are caught up in traditional social behaviour patterns and how one day that's all turned on its head. A great story of one person breaking out of her shell and helping a couple of others to do so as well. Thankfully, Doki Doki was void of all the Western clichés about Japan and instead showed Japan and Japanese as it is. A country and people in search of the same things as most people...human contact.
