The programmer’s eye

Richard Forst, Dicky for his friends, is an insurer. He is married to Maria for fourteen years. One evening, while he is having a drink with his friend Freddie in a bar, he meets Jeannie Rapp, a charming call-girl. A complicity sets between the two of them. Back home, Richard tells Maria his will to divorce, before returning to Jeannie. Thus alone, Maria gets out with three friends and spends the remaining part of the night with Chet, a young man from Detroit, that she just met. It is a major influence in Ryûsuke Hamaguchi's cinema.
