## Synopsis

I'm Home (2015) is a Japanese television drama based on a manga by Kei Ishizaka, broadcast on TV Asahi as a single ten-episode season of roughly fifty minutes each. Takuya Kimura stars as Ieji Hisashi, a securities company salaryman who has lost a fuzzy five years of memory after an accident at his job posting. Returning to his life, he finds his wife Megumi (Aya Ueto) and their young son seem to wear masks to him, their faces and feelings unreadable, while his thoughts keep drifting toward his ex-wife and daughter. Each episode follows his quiet investigation as he sets out with a bundle of ten mysterious keys, slowly uncovering evidence of who he became during the blank years. Supporting players including Miki Mizuno and Kei Tanaka help shape the tangle of old loyalties around him. The engine is simple and human: a man trying to reconcile the kindhearted father he has become with the cold, ambitious persona he is discovering. The atmosphere is wistful, uneasy and intimate, with a mystery undercurrent that rewards patient viewing. Fans of Memento and amnesia-driven family dramas will find resonance here.
