NARRATIVE CONCEPT

The opening credits begin in a dark universe, where a neural network emerges to evoke the beginning of the film, where the protagonists seem lost in their respective lives and in the Japanese culture so different from their own.

This feeling of being lost is a nod to the title: "Lost in Translation". We travel through this neural network, getting lost along the way, until the appearance of a root, symbolizing the budding relationship between the two characters.

This root brings us back to the surface of reality, marking the end when a cherry blossom blooms, emblematic of Japan and symbolizing the conclusion of the film where Bob and Charlotte part ways, leaving their relationship hanging.
