Movies - Wasabi


Wasabi is a 2001 movie directed by Gérard Krawczyk, written by Luc Besson
and starring Jean Reno
, Hirosue Ryoko and Michel Muller.

Plot summary

Hubert Fiorentini (Reno) is a French policeman and former intelligence operative who has been unable to forget his true love, Miko, a Japanese spy he met 19 years prior. When she dies suddenly, her lawyer Ishibashi (Hirata Haruhiko) summons Hubert to Japan for the reading of her will.

Ishibashi informs him he has inherited the guardianship of Yumi, Miko's daughter, until she reaches the age of maturity in three days (the age of maturity in Japan is 20, not 18). Yumi hates her father, whom she believes raped and abandoned her mother; Hubert realizes Yumi is his daughter but doesn't tell for fear of her hatred.

Hubert soon discovers that Miko was the victim of foul play after ripping off the yakuza for a small fortune, which Yumi has now inherited. With the help of Momo (Muller), a former intelligence colleague, he must protect her from the unofficial collection agency while at the same time trying to establish his long severed father-daughter bond in the three days before she turns twenty and sends him packing.
