A film, based on a Tomoka Shibasaki’s novel, on the earthly magic of falling in love. When Asako, a shy student from Osaka, meets Baku, it’s love at first sight. Baku is a mysterious and gorgeous-looking young man, who often disappears. Then, one day, he’s gone for good. Two years later, Asako, now working as a server in a coffee shop, spots Ryohei, who looks exactly like Baku. Ryohei will love Asako in a different way — the kind of love that’s so reassuring it might even be scary for Asako.
