The programmer’s eye
When Asako's first love disappears, she is distraught. Two years later, she meets her perfect double. Confused by this strange similarity, she lets herself be tempted but incrementally finds out that the young man has a totally different personality. « With a consummate art of tiny variations embodied by his suggestive style, Ryusuke Hamaguchi orchestrates like a pointillist goldsmith a lovely ballet, elegant and deep. », Olivier de Bruyn, Les Échos.
