Ask for Daniel!
In Stay, Ryu (Shogen) is at a low point. He’s working hard at a fish processing plant but gets fired when his boss learns of his drug conviction. The same could happen in the U.S. but in Japan the taboo is especially strong. Ryu was a “salaryman” (executive) but now can’t even keep a factory job. In Japanese society, he’s a non person but an extremely good-looking one.
