Asako I & Ii

The film begins when college student Asako and dashing Baku meet and fall into each other’s arms at the exit of a photography exhibition. However, Baku suddenly abandons Asako with no explanation. Years later, in Tokyo, Asako thinks she spots Baku working at a sake business, but it’s actually Ryohei: a genial, soft-spoken young man confused by Asako’s sudden advances. She starts dating the guy and doesn’t tell him about the physical similarities to an old flame that drew her to him in the first place. When Baku resurfaces years later, she finds herself forced to confront her earlier feelings.
