One woman, two loves. When Asako meets Baku, sparks fly the moment their eyes meet. But six months later, Baku disappears without a trace as suddenly and overwhelmingly as he came into her life. Some years later, Asako meets a man who bears an uncanny resemblance to Baku – at first she doesn’t understand why he pretends not to know her and introduces himself as Ryohei…
Love appears in Asako’s calm world – presented in this adaptation from the novel with a sharp eye for the everyday – as a capricious, compelling force of nature. In spite of their physical similarity, the adventurous, unattached Baku and the more cautious, reliable Ryohei (both played by Higashide Masahiro) are complete opposites; but then, is the woman who can love two such different personalities really one and the same? The complex world of Asako’s emotions re-emerges when Baku unexpectedly re-appears in her life.
