Asako I & II

A mysterious pop romance, an unexpected emotional twist on "Vertigo", a story about doppelgangers, love affairs and doubts. It participated in the 71st Cannes Film Festival and surprisingly became a cult cinephile discovery thereafter.

Synopsis

Asako is a young woman who falls madly in love with the perpetually and aimlessly wandering Baku. One day he disappears from her life as unexpectedly as he had appeared. Two years later, while working in Tokyo, Asako sees Baku again, or so she thinks. A young businessman, Ryohei, looks exactly like her old love. The two begin to build a happy life together, until Asako's past comes to the surface again.
