Summary:
"Two brothers want to get their screwed-up lives together by going to Japan for a retreat in a Zen monastery. Their midlife crisis turns into a midnight crisis when they get lost in Tokyo s neon jungle and can't find the way back to their hotel. With no papers, credit cards, directions and with no Yen in their pockets, they wonder through a kaleidoscopic alien environment where the simplest everyday thing becomes a major, often comical, challenge. They never expected the Zen concept of leaving everything behind to be like this! Life on the monastery proves to be equally challenging. The mundane and the sublime -- where does one stop and the other start? What does cleaning the floor have to do with cleansing your heart? The enigma of enlightenment continues to elude them. And yet, even if they don't fully realize it, at the very core of their being, it's changing them..."--Container.
