Film, birbirine son derece benzeyen iki adama âşık olan bir kadının hikâyesini anlatıyor. Tomoka Shibasaki’nin romanından uyarlanan filme adını veren Asako, önce genç ve karizmatik Baku’yla, ondan ayrıldıktan yıllar sonra da onun çok benzeri başka bir adamla birlikte oluyor. Baku yeniden hayatına girmeye çalışınca Asako, hem duygusal hem de zihinsel çelişkilerin ortasında kalıyor.

Asako I & II

Confident that he’s the next great Japanese thespian, Matsumoto Fighter and his manager roam the streets of Shibuya to promote him. When he finds out that up-andcoming indie director Matsunaga Daishi is holding auditions for his latest film, Matsumoto pulls out all the stops to get in. Director Ninomiya Ken began this project as a Borat-esque mockumentary about the desperate measures aspiring actors take to break into show business. But when Fighter and his manager push the limits of their unsuspecting prey a little too far, fiction and reality begin to overlap in disturbing and surprisingly violent ways. Will Fighter finally get his big break, or will his dreams come crumbling down?
