Kumiko, a Caçadora de Tesouros
Digital Imaging Technician
Na imensa cidade de Tóquio, Kumiko, de vinte e nove anos, vive em absoluta solidão. Ela trabalha um péssimo e inoperante emprego sob um péssimo chefe, é intimidada por seus colegas mais abastados e incomodada incessantemente por sua mãe autoritária, que fica exasperada pelo fato de sua filha não ser casada ou estar em um relacionamento. As únicas alegrias em sua vida vêm de uma fita VHS granulada - um filme americano em que um homem enterra uma bolsa de dinheiro nas planícies nevadas do Meio-Oeste - e seu amado coelho de estimação, Bunzo. Kumiko está de alguma forma convencida de que esse tesouro é real e obcecado com sua descoberta. Com um mapa do tesouro costurado à mão e um espírito quixotesco, Kumiko embarca em uma incrível jornada pelo Pacífico e pelo deserto gelado de Minnesota para descobrir uma suposta fortuna.
