Just like the characters in his movies often have multiple personalities, Hitchcock's movie personalities also have multiple personalities.

Sachiko only realized this in March. It was a bitterly cold and gloomy afternoon. Sachiko often walked side by side with Youji in the streets with arcades and narrow shops in the city center. That day the two of them were walking towards the suburban tram terminal. Yoji is the half-brother of Sachiko's husband, Shoichi, and is twenty-six years old. He is a bachelor who is two years younger than Sachiko. Perhaps due to the nature of his job as an advertising agency producer, he is very sociable. He has a slender figure, always wears a crisp suit, and has more or less the air of a playboy. The two of them had just watched a preview screening of a French movie in a building at the end of the shopping street and were on their way home. Sachiko has been married for more than half a year and has not yet given birth.
