Japanese Movie - 2010
A Japanese woman has a foreign boyfriend, but who she really has a good relationship with, despite cultural differences. the mom says something wise
"japanese, foreign, it doesn’t matter-of course people are different. But itns’t living with someone recognizes those differences little by little, and accepting them, and sharing them? That is what becoming a couple means. And then becoming a family." this is also what the mom discovered with her Japanese husband that he enjoyed japanese breakfast, but she fell in lvoe with the foreign breakfast of having toast in the morning by watching tv -but she holded back for the sake of her husband, but eventually busrted out loud and said "enough." she really wanted this, and to her surprise he had no toruble with accepting this, but asked if she could at least make him miso soup every monring at least- as he enjoyed her miso soup a lot. And that she shuld do whatever she wanted if it made her happy. Then she had toast every morning from then on and he had his miso soup only :)

Age-gap,
Quotes from the series:
"Don't wait. for a mitral, walk toward it.
go to the future with zero expectations"
"i know i am not at the age
where i can take things slowly,
but i am not in a rush right now.
You are the only one who helped me realize it doesn’t matter when starting anew.
so I want to do things slowly.
i want to take plenty of time to learn more about you.
and I want you to learn more about me too."
And a few a bit awkward kinda moments, but not too bad :) -
