Snow Kimono

On the same day that retired police inspector Auguste Jovert receives a letter from a woman claiming to be his daughter, he returns to his Paris apartment to find a stranger waiting for him.

That stranger is a Japanese professor called Tadashi Omura. What's brought him to Jovert's doorstep is not clear, but then he begins to tell his story - a story of a fractured friendship, lost lovers, orphaned children, and a body left bleeding in the snow.

As Jovert pieces together the puzzle of Omura's life, he can't help but draw parallels with his own; for he too has lead a life that's been extraordinary and dangerous - and based upon a lie.

In aceeasi zi in care inspectorul de politie pensionat Auguste Jovert primeste o scrisoare de la o femeie care pretinde ca este fiica sa, el se intoarce in apartamentul sau din Paris pentru a gasi un strain care il asteapta. Acest strain este un profesor japonez numit Tadashi Omura. Ceea ce l-a adus la pragul lui Jovert nu este clar, dar apoi incepe sa-si spuna povestea - o poveste despre o prietenie fracturata, iubiti pierduti, copii orfani si un corp lasat sangerand in zapada. , nu poate sa nu faca paralele cu ale sale; pentru ca si el a dus o viata extraordinara si periculoasa - si bazata pe o minciuna.
