'Research Help Please'

[beastlover]

Looking for dramas movies etc. featuring the infamous Absent Japanese Husband/Father. Can anyone think of any?? I've got to make a video project about the absentee father for Dawn (for those of you who know who that is) and I'm looking for assistance finding the drama scenes that deal with fathers or husbands who are gone from Japanese homes for much of the time.

Help please!

edit: I should probably define Absent Father. OOPS Umm, a father or husband who lives most of the time in another location because of work etc.
