What happens

Two in the Amsterdam Rain (Japanese: 雨のアムステルダム, Hepburn: Ame no Amsterdam) is a 1975 Japanese romantic drama spy thriller directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara and written by Nobuo Yamada. It is a rare example of a Japanese film set in the Netherlands. The plot concerns a Japanese expatriate in Amsterdam who rekindles his connection to an old flame, and the international spy plot that slowly engulfs them. It stars a multi-national cast, including Kenichi Hagiwara as the protagonist, Keiko Kishi as his femme fatale crush, Rentarō Mikuni as an employee of a rival trading company, and Alain Cuny as the film's overarching antagonist. Toho released the film theatrically on March 21, 1975, in Japan. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
