Director Dave Boyle (“Big Dreams Little
Tokyo”) returns with WHITE ON RICE, the comedic story of
Jimmy (Hiroshi Watanabe, “Letters from Iwo Jima”), a
misguided 40-year-old divorceé trying to navigate his way
through a new life in America and out of his sister Aiko’s
(Japanese Academy Award winner Nae) basement. Disgraced by
his disgruntled brother-in-law Tak (Mio Takada, “Late Night
with Conan O’Brien”), the immature yet adorable Jimmy spends
his nights searching for a new wife who shares his love of
dinosaurs and geology. Things go horribly wrong when Jimmy
falls desperately in love with Tak’s niece, the beautiful
Ramona (Lynn Chen, “Saving Face”), and vows to steal her
away from his co-worker Tim (James Kyson Lee, “Heroes”).
Meanwhile, Bob, Jimmy’s nephew and bunk bed-mate (newcomer
Justin Kwong) harbors a secret talent that holds the key to
rekindling the passion in his parents’ marriage. Hilarious
and heartwarming, WHITE ON RICE is a Japanese-American comic
treat.
