"Thermae Romae" is a 2012 live action film adaptation of
Yamazaki Mari's manga with the same title. It stars
Abe Hiroshi as Lucius Modestus, a 2nd century Roman bathhouse architect who has trouble coming up with innovative ideas. While contemplating inside a noisy bathhouse in Rome, he suddenly gets transported into present-day Tokyo. There, he gets ideas from Japanese baths, and starts applying them into his designs as soon as he returns home. Eventually, the Emperor hears about his "inventions" and enlists him to design His Majesty's personal bathroom. Despite his guilt, everything seems to be working out well for the architect, until his time-traveling adventure gets him, and the future of Rome, in hot water...
The movie also stars Ueto Aya as Yamakoshi Mami, an aspiring manga artist whom Lucius often ends up meeting in modern Japan; Ichimura Masachika as the bath-loving and often misunderstood Roman Emperor Hadrian; Kitamura Kazuki as Ceionius, an arrogant high-ranking official set to inherit the throne; Shishido Kai as the statesman, Antoninus; and Sasano Takashi as Mami's father.
